no problem....glad to help.

if i don't do coilovers on my '04, i'm definitely getting another set of koni's in the least.

since you have an '02, your set-up will totally rock!!

the '02's have stiffer springs than '00's (my old car)...just by a bit.

Bump from the Dead. I just did koni's on stock springs. It is amazing. The drop is a little raked. 2 fingers in the front and 3 in the rear.

That's great. Let me know when you're going to a meet and if you don't mind giving me a ride.

If I was using a car for street only, I would go with Koni's (or motons if I could afford it) and CR springs on the lower perch... I have Koni yellows with a custom valving and love em.

Koni's are pretty good. I am going to run the AMR setup from AMR Engineering with stock springs on my CR for autocross B stock class.

I have had the Konis the Koni Races, and the AMR's. The AMR's ride like Motons ($$$$) and cost (for a complete set with springs) just a little more than the Koni Race shocks just on their own.

If you have more questions just PM me. I, and a lot of other Atlanta area autocrossers have really found these to be stellar performance and cost wise.

Indeed from the dead. Moving to S2000 Suspension.

My girlfriend has the same combo in her S2000, but we are going to fit the Eibach Pro Kit this weekend.

I have the Koni Yellows and love them. I have them on lower perch. I also have the pro kit springs also. Give it a perfect drop imo.
I had the shocks on full stiff and was pretty intense. Backed off a bit since then and feels great. I am sure it is a little stiffer since I have eibach springs and not oem though.

Don't you rub your fender liner edge in the front with the stock springs in the lower perch location? Or does the camber gained from the lowering tuck the tire in just enough? I was losing fender liner clips just on twisty roads in my 2007 with stock springs on autocross-valved Koni Yellows in the upper perch location. Of course it was worse at autocross eventsc and I'd wear through the fender liner after the clips were gone.
