what Suspension setup should I do?
Hey everyone... I own a 2007 Honda s2k lol and I live on Long Island N.Y....
It's time for me to lower her. I want to do everything the right way . So that's why I was thinking doing a coilover setup but prob will just do springs.. It's going to be for everyday drivin and for comfort but, I want it to be to low. Don't want to it mess my bumper up and would like it to ride like stock or better.
If everyone can please post what is the best spring that's out .. ..
Thanks,
Kevin

Before you get flamed, what's your budget and is this for looks or tracking/autoX
Should I get coilovers or just like springs/struts

First of all, the car comes with an EXCELLENT coilover setup from the factory. If you want to just lower it I would suggest either Eibach Pro Kit or Swift springs. If you just have money to play around and want to actually improve on the car's handling, then I suggest KW V3's. They are excellent coilovers w/ external oil reservoirs on all shocks.
many people also like Bilstein PSS9's.

It would be a wast of money if I do buy coilovers and don't use them for what they are meant for? Just though if I did coilovers everything would be better ride/comfort and plus I can change the height.

For know I don't think I'm going to do any hard handling lol.. Just really for looks and comfort I think.. If I do springs should I do struts also?

It wouldn't be a waste of money if you spend the money now on a nice set of coilovers. Later on if you need to put it to use you'll always have it readily available. If you're going to lower it and want comfort and awesome handling later, do it right the first time so you won't waste time and money. KW v3 FTW! ... I have some and they are awesome btw.
Well what's the best spring kit?

I had Eibachs on stock shocks, then I changed to Bilstein PSS9. The PSS9 definitely handles better and rides better too. Plus, you can adjust the ride height and dampening. The PSS9 is a great street setup for this car.
If you're going to be doing more than a handful of track days a year then something stiffer would give you faster lap times... at the expense of being harsher on the street.

Best for me is Comfort/ride and for the streets bec, I put alot of miles on the car. and something that's going to ride like stock or even better lol...
Bilstein PSS9 is a coilover
Is it worth for me to spend say $1,500 to $2,000 or you think spendin say $250 is fine for what i'm lookin for?
Thankssss
