what are the best struts & shock that will give me a not so stiff but a smooth ride.

 

i think u have a Street car with Little to no track days? If so then get kw v2-3 or ohlin dvr. Best ride for street and handling.

 

For the money there is nothing close to the Ohlins Road and Track DFVs. Shoot us a PM for the best pricing around!

Welcome to s2ki!

First, S2000s dont have struts. They have only coilover shocks. Second, we really need to know what your goals are for the car. Honestly, you need to honestly ask yourself: What's wrong with the stock suspension? Honda put an AWESOME suspension on the S2000 from the factory, and putting a cheap set of aftermarket suspension components on the car with simply hurt the handling and not help it.

This....may not be a for real original post.

But...if you're just switching shocks and keeping your stock springs, Koni yellows will provide more comfort. I would say that konis and stock springs on the stock height perch are the best STREET setup for the money, hands down. Obviously, this will not lower the car.

 

Unless you go with the bottom perch, and then you get a 1/2" drop Koni yellows are a great shock for the money though.

 

I thought the bottom perch set you at like 0.8" to 1" lower than stock at the wheels?

Isn't it 1/2" at the shock?

 

I was always told .5"...but hey, I can't speak from personal experience so what do I know

 

No love for the oem CR spring and damper setup? That's what I still want (perhaps with Swift springs).

 

I've seen just under 1" at the wheels in the photos/reviews from people who did it. I haven't done it on a S2000. But on the cars I DID do it on, the ride went to shit because you run out of travel.

I'd just use the stock perch.
