The performance of the zeals are great but i am having some minor rubbing issues. i rasied the car a bit more and it only rubs when i go on a big ditch so its not too bad.

HOWEVER, whenever i go on speedbumps, there are squeeking. It sounds like the shocks are absorbing it but you can hear it like an air sound. Are coilovers supposed to be like that? Lately i drive bump the music really loud so i cant hear it but when the music is turned down, i hate it.
What offsets are you running. Maybe its your tiresize. I was about to say slam the car now. Yeah its your tire size. You need to run a more conservative size.

215/45/17 front
245/35/17 rear or 245/40/17

Then dump it.

Dont know. I just installed the Zeals as well and have yet to test them due to no wheels..

What kind of tires you can get for this size ?


No offense, ZEAL B6 are one of most unpredictable suspension made for S2000. Remember talking to AJ PwR and Spoon AP1 who had them before, the ZEAL B6 created a lot of sound and the rear are very soft even it was set at 6. It also created a lot of bumpsteer so the back end is very floaty even they had the alignment done.

I think after you tested those dampers, you will end up getting ZEAL Function Super R instead cuz your expectation is high and I am sure you will not be satisfied
