Default Suspension recommendations for AP2?

I'm pretty sure that suspension kits for the AP1 will fit the AP2. With that being said, what suspension would you recommend me? So far I have the Spoon Fixed Type suspension kit in mind. Any help is appreciated.

Bang for the Buck I would say KW V3's lots of people use them and many have said it is the best coil-over set up for under 2g's.

If $ is not an issue Penske, Ohlins, Moton are all but expect to pay lots of $$$

Spoons are ok, but getting them re-valved if needed would be a pain, you would have to ship them to Japan then wait for them to get re-valved and back to you from Japan . I would stick with something that could be serviced more locally.

Not if you have the right contacts to get them shipped into the US.


One of the many things going on at the shop regarding the S2000

Performance over price

Very tue...

If the OP had hook ups I dont think we would have seen the post he probably would have just went out and got the coil-overs

Hi, am new today.

I bought a 02 recently and really love it. Now I know the feeling.
I have set it up for HPDE and also drive it on the street.
I installed an AIM intake, Axial Flow short shifter, Ensiler dual exhaust with removable dampeners, Mugen front tower brace and am running 16" TOYO T1R tires.

I am driving in group 3 and moving up to 4. I took it to the track last weekend and drove it for the first time it handled really well. The only thing I found was that the rear was sagging somewhat. A friend on the Honda race team suggested that I add coilover suspension but was not sure which one or what spring rates for the front and rear.

Any suggestions.

Also for your info I have it set up to tow on all 4 behinda truck or motor home and it tows great with no harm.
