Default Suspension choice

Already have a track car but will probably track the S once or twice a year. It's completly stock now but will be buying set of wheels and tires to personalze the car a bit. Prefer the slightly lowered look and would like suggestions on what suspension to go with to acheive a lowered stance and retain a decent ride. I thought of the Biltein PSS9 set up but also considered the cheaper route and just buying a set of lowering springs. But I'm afraid of losing travel and ending up with struts that can't handle the increased spring rate. Suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Best thing you can do is to post in your regional community and see who has what and who can take you for a ride in their s2000. This way you can experience something. All these threads do is generate a bunch of people telling you to buy what they have or what they want to have.

Buy on another note, a key factor on the suspension debate is budget. How much are you looking to spend to achieve your goals? That will really pin point the best options for you.

Motons and Eibach springs with linear rates.... If you have the bucks and the desire, it's awesome.

I have the cash but as long as I have a dedicated track car I can't see spending the money on a coilover setup until that car is gone.

I guess a better question is are the Eibach lowering springs a decent temporary (maybe two summers of driving) choice or should I just buy the coilovers and be done with it?
