S2000

 

How much did you lower it vs stock?

 

Inch all around

 

bump

i installed H & r coilovers had car aligned , alignment didnt make a difference. had the bushings preloaded and everything. Now i dont think its just in my head, the car rides good no noises goes straight but there seems to be a lot of body roll especially the turn in. i dont get it all the reviews said they were a little stiffer than stock but it feels like softer than stock. So now im left with 1100 dollar suspension that made my car handle like a camry what the hell am i supposed to do call the manufacture? im really turned of to the whole car now. or is this just the way s2000's handle when you lower the geometry?? uhhhgg

 

ssucks to hear, what year s2k do you have? do you know what the spring rates of the H&r coilovers are?

 

03 my. carbon blue you have h&rs don't you what did it feel like for you. I don't know the spring rates

 

I have the bilstein PSS setup on a MY02 which should have the same spring rates as your MY03, the car definitely stiffened up some after I installed it. I also added eibach sways to help with transitions but still wanted to maintain a compliant ride due to it being mainly a street car. Your H&Rs are essentially bilstein shocks with H&R springs, but I cant find any info anywhere about their spring rates. I know some have mentioned they run the same rate all around but what that rate is is a mystery.

 

This sux

 

H&R are exact the same as the Bilstein B14 setup which is actually a very good coilover set if it's your everyday car.

Most drivers think a good coilover set has to be bone hard (top dampers like Intraxx or Ohlins offer a lot more comfort than you might expect).

Anyway, if your car rolls to much get thicker swaybars.

If you wat to track your car, get stiffer springs (Swift or another A brand can help you out) and (if you want really stiff springs) have a bilstein expert revalve your dampers.

I have a revalved B14 setup with slightly stiffer springs and can guarantee it's way better than the Tein Monoflex and Kw v1 dampers I used in the past....
