S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

Haha! Sorry for all the questions! I like reading these kinds of write-ups, so much better than, "I have XYZ Coils, it's dope!" or "Buy ABC Coils and call it day!" Lol!

One big thing for me is ride quality, although quite subjective, at least there can be a point of comparison (stock). I've read comments like "aftermarket coilovers have higher spring rate, therefore the ride quality won't be as good". If only it were so simple.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if the "solid" feeling might be attributed to Adam's non-staggered set-up.

I have put together a big spreadsheet that will test a lot of different criteria (10+ different aspects). I hope to make this the most comprehensive review out there!!

I am hoping that all three CR owners will take their turn driving the cars so we can get a better data sample to average the results. This also will help eliminate any biases and subjective opinions.

We are finalizing a drive route, and one big thing to note is that we will be using the same exact set of wheels and tires on each car. So that means swapping wheels and tires before each drive to eliminate tires and wheel setup from the equation! We will be going with stock cr wheels and almost new RE11A.

Here is a little teaser pictures hehe. Good news is, we tested two cars and had a lot of fun!!! Bad news is we got hit by a huge Haboob and were forced to stop our test a little early so we do not have complete test data. Luckily we conducted the tests out of an amazing garage so we were able to seek refuge from the storm and no CR's were harmed by the storm

We are going to reschedule for another time and I will post the final results then.

Is anyone showing up the AutoX in a stock CR?
For some reason, I have yet to drive one of those.

Very nice to hear your thoughts. I'm also considering the same options these days since I've given up on the higher end stuff because of the relatively short rebuild intervals.
