custom Ohlins suspension, Amuse header and exhaust, Hi-Tech ROM, and J's Racing or Mugen intake.

Amuse suspension is Ohlins suspension, just custom spec, and now they are doing titanium springs... and yes, upper level Ohlins suspensions are that good...

Correct me if I am wrong. Those are revalved Bilsteins.

Thats crazy...But anyway it is a nice car...The reason why I am asking is because I want a similar feel in suspension I road in a friends car that has the Amuse suspension and it felt awsome but then he showed me the video of the Touge Monster and also told me that it wasn`t the same suspension...He said I should go with Buddy Club or T1R...I am already playing on T1Rs Exhaust matched with Js Headers...But other than that I really don`t know much about their product history.....Some one else sugested Tein RA with some type of dampening controller...Other mods will include 17 inch rims/ topped off with a supercharger Comptech Or Vortech doesn`t matter much to me.....STBs and Sways....I want a set feel when it comes to my suspension though cause I am really not that much of a hands on type of guy. I cant ajust suspension all the time...Thanks for the Info

P.S. sorry if I got a little side tracked but I am really looking for a ride thats at the same level as my friend James ora level above...His car has no bodyroll and its just all around smooth.....

The EDFC your friend mentioned (the dampening controller) isn't compatable with the Tein Type RA's in the S2000 application.

Also, the Tein RA's and the Amuse setup are two different grades of suspension. Not that the Tein RA's aren't a fine suspension (I have this setup on my AP1), just that the Amuse spec'd Bilsteins are better

Thats 1AP...I just looked into them (Tein) with the EDFC on the Spugen website and it said they where but I think they are a bunch of crooks and liars anyway...I would really like to have the Amuse they sound really good...Where can I buy them I know they are going to be around 2500-3000 bucks but I went to www.amuseusa.com and didn`t even see where to order them from...Thanks

There is a Tein 2 way adjustable with EDFC however. I think it's called SRC or soemthing and its 32 x 32.
