Default I gotta a 2000 S2k whats good a drop?

I need help making up mind on what suspension coil over set to go with. or should I even go with coil overs and just get springs? This is my first Honda and Im new to these cars. And how low should I go if I just use this car as a street car not for drift or drag or stock competetion? Please help ima new newbie!

this really doesn't belong in this forum unless your only interested in Japanese components... and even then it's still sketchy... do a search, and you'll find plenty of comparisons...

KW Variant 3 Coilovers. None better for under $3000. If you're going over $3000 look into JRZ's or Motons. Most JDM coilovers make the car handle worse.

Showa coilovers. Showa makes the oem springs/shocks. You can also get Mugen-spec or Spoon-spec Showa C/O. price: $3k.

If you got $4k, Motons prob better way to go.

you do realize this entire post is subjective, no? I can think of many coilover setups MUCH better than KW for less than 3k... then again, that's subjective too...

It really depends on what you're looking for.

What's most important to you?

Price? Looks? Performance? Comfort?

And what will be your primary use for the car?

When you answer these questions you can better decide which setup would benefit you most.

Some people prefer answers, some people like to be told what to do or what to buy. I made it easier for him. If you know of better C/O's why didn't you state them, instead your post was focused on discrediting a helpful post. Nice work.
