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

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.

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....
