I don't want a bumpy ride. I am looking for a nice drop and ride quality. All advice is appreciated.

 

i have tein s-techs and would have like a little more of a drop. ride is alright on them, but i get a lot of creaks and rattles from them.

 

coilovers?

 

save your money and get coil overs. the billstein pss9 is the best for the money.... In my humble opinion...


you are going to have a very hard time finding good ride quality on just a set of springs.

the coilover package is engineered with the springs, and dampening in mind, that makes a big difference.

The stock setup is great, but we all want an improvement and a lower ride height.

 

damn talk about response time....3 posts while i wrote that....lol

 

Just installed the Swift springs yesterday. They haven't settled fully yet, but I did notice that body roll is significantly reduced when cornering, and it absorbs transitions in the road better. I like them alot so far, they are a great improvement over my stock '01 springs.

 

I waited a long time to add coilovers. I drove in a lot of s2000's with different setups.

I would definitely recommend going for rides at meets with peeps that have the mods you are thinking about.

I've been in cars with Teins, buddy clubs, and a few others. I did the research and was pretty sure I wanted the pss9's. I went for a ride in a car that had them installed, and that was it. purchased them the following week.

Lots of info and good people throughout this site, use them to get the ride you are looking for

 

There are also a set of coilovers that Todd from 2nrwerks is coming out with, you can pm him about it for more info.

 

I like the KWv3 coilovers but the PSS9s are also very very good.

if you are on a budget the espilers are good.

 

i'm on Espelir and love them. Not bouncy at all and hard to tell a difference in ride quality over stock. I also am very happy with the drop too ... just right for me. And i'm on stock shocks.

If you have any real interest in being competitive in HPD's or SCCA i would suggest spending some good money on full coil-overs. But, i think Speedworksracing is using a regular aftermarket spring with Koni's and seems to be happy with them as well.
