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

Default Whats our CR suspension worth?

If this is going against protocol I apologise and this can be deleted.

If and when I do decide to actually sell I will purchase a membership at the time of listing the parts.




But Im really just curious about what a fair price would be to ask for our stock CR suspension? Brand new Iv found pricing that suggests them worth ~$1500 (800 for rear, 700 for front). I was thinking ~$1000 is a fair price for used?

Please don't ever sell it!! Clean it up, box it up, put it on the shelf for the future

In order to be able to afford a new setup Ill need to sell the stock setup. If it makes you feel better I keep selling to the same person so at least it will all be in one place should I want it back lol Of course I could always just buy new again.

I know how you feel, but really, the best thing is to box it up and keep it. Plus, I doubt you will get as much as you think for CR parts. Probably a 15% premium than on the same non-CR parts as the floor price and the ceiling price is limited by brand new price minus about 35%.

When you go to sell the car, the aftermarket stuff will likely hold its value better for its eventual sale. Better to keep OEM stuff at a discount, buy the aftermarket and then sell the aftermarket rather than getting nothing for your OEM parts and then paying through the nose for the same parts when/if you sell the car.

Not what you wanted to hear, but maybe what you should hear

Any many people would probably look at something like a used KW V3 or something, which seems common at your suggested price, and the KW is height adjustable. I think you wouldn't get more than $700 at best.

I think you should keep everything for the "just in case" situation. I bought new wheels and kept the stock and just got the Tein Mono Flex with edfc and also keeping the stock....heheh

This is all great to hear guys thank you!

I will never be selling this car so Im not worried about having to go back to stock. If it ever got to the point where I couldnt afford to drive the car, it would become a collectable.

As far as mileage goes, its a little over 30,000km and the car has never seen winter.

So far its looking like $700-800 which seems fair to me.

Any other thoughts?

Brad no worries, I don't mind discussions on pricing trends. If/When you decide to offer yours up though, they do have to put them in the classifieds section.

I sold my CR suspension for roughly $800 and bought a set for roughly the same thing. I sold mine with 20,000 miles on them if I remember correctly.
