what Suspension setup should I do?
#94
Got this done today in the morning and Im really liking it. Wasn't too low and seems good for daily driving.
Feels like stock and handles better. Feels like there is less bounce as well. Looks better as well. Took it over some speed bumps and into my drive way but only the rubbers under the car touched. Springs shouldn't get lower cause they are used. Or maybe?
Here are some pictures.
Espelir on stock struts and rims.
Hope this helps.

Coincidence that this issue is out as you ask this question. The S2000 and its owners with tuned suspension was heavily featured in this issue. 28 pages of reviews and information on the various set up.
A few others from this forum are in here. Its is good to live in Southern California to get this type of national exposure.
On newstands April 22nd, 2008 Tuesday after Long Beach Grand Prix!
Pick it up!

Another quick question about all of these spring kits. Are they developed mainly to lower a vehicle and not really make the handling all that better? Meaning do you buy them for looks or function.
Do you have to go beyond the normal spring kits to really see an improvement in handling if you do want to hit a track a couple times a year?

Well, lol, if you want it to drive nice, lol, and not scrape, lol, then I'd, lol, keep it stock lol.
I'm dropped on Espelirs/Koni Yellows top perch, lol, and I scrape all over the place, my tires rub the front fenders over dips, lol, and its basically a pain in the ass for an every day driver, not so lol. I've been debating on putting my stock springs back in and running the Koni's on the lower perch, lol.
YMMV, FWIW, IMHO, LOL!!!!!
