I'm running JIC FLTA2 full coilovers dropped to one finger gap all the way around. 10K front and 12K rear.
Honestly was the best mod (driving wise) that I have done on my S. Its a lot stiffer but I am able to hang turns like the car is on a rail. I also have Volk LE28's in 17X7.5 front and 17X9 rear with 225's in the front and 255's in the rear.
All of this has made a HUGE difference in handling etc.

FYI I was at 280 with my Greddy turbo (mustang type dyno) and could NOT ever break the tires loose in any gear. No clutch drops of course.

 

Agreed, but a quality coilover setup = $$.

I've spent enough.

Car handling is fine imo for now...just needs a little drop...I've got other things to worry about, likel meth.

 

Whats another 3-4K in suspension tires and rims if you already put 10 K into go fast goodies?

AP2 rims are fine (I would never run AP1), but I'd at least look into Konis and springs or some of the Megan coilovers that dont cost as much. That would be a much cheaper route than I went and would work just as good probably.

 

If I put 10k into my car I'd /myself.

It's still a Honda, and I'm not dumping loads of $$ into it.

I'm gonna give it a shot...I've heard good reviews, and even though I hit up back roads, it's done fine so far.

I'm thinking a little drop, front sway perhaps...call it a good day.

In the future, I may grab some coilovers, I had a nice set on the SI that I got a good deal on...so who knows.

 

4X4 STATUS ALL DAY!!!

for stock wheels that looks hot. haha

 

you should see the looks when people notice them on the s2000 lol

 

PSS9s here with same size wheels and tires. Single best mod I've done to the car, in terms of enjoyment (my car is not FI yet). It feels as if it's magnetically connected to the ground. Less squat, dive, and roll, just overall feels more stable. Not harsh at all, rides better than stock over bumps.

 

Are they really priced @ 2k?

 

siadam - What model year is your car? MY00/01 cars has really stiff rear springs, which are the cause for the twitchy rear end. The spring rates in the rear were softened progressively for the MY02/03 and then again for the AP2. The fronts were stiffened up to help prevent understeer.

I want to say that the fronts got stiffer, and the rears got softer, as the car was refined over the years.

Just get a set of coilovers, and you can pre-load each shock independently, and can get a perfect corner balance.

4-corner balance FTW in terms of handling!

You can get a used set of TEIN coilovers, with EDFC controller, for less than $1200. EDFC is awesome, as you can soften the ride a bit for the interstate, and tighten it back up for the track, with the touch of a button.
