oh yeah...

nice car; saw the thing in person in RI... all real parts

 

wow.. there are tons of coilovers out there that improve handling...

 

hahahaha.. something that is engeneered better for only that purpouse... take any full coilover system out there and it will outperform your S2000 by many seconds on the touge, track, you name it.. why do you think they make the coilovers?? so they dont work and mess up your car?? lol.. comeon man. youve got such nice mods, youd think that you would know something like that.. if we are talking about that than any other part you added on you have replaced from perfectly engeneered parts that work just fine as well.. right?? ..

 

i like the sides alot but need at least a inch drop. the car will handle alot better. plus looks hot too.

 

Suspension differs from many other parts when it comes to aftermarket though.
Engine performance parts are changed because the car stock is held back by emission laws, noise levels, etc. When it comes to suspension, a sports car like the S2000 can be pretty well tuned given they don't need a super comfortable suspension like other cars because the people buying it aren't really expecting a comfortable ride.
This isn't to say that stock suspension, handling wise, can't be improved upon because it certainly can, but you have to be careful because a rock hard ride that makes your car looked slammed doesn't always mean it will handle better than stock.

 

Car looks good, love the TS parts

 

It depends on the shock. Not all coilovers are created equal. There are many coilover systems, but not all coilover systems will improve handling. Some shocks are built for different purposes and to different quality controls.Take the difference between one of the cheap $800 coilovers and a $7000+ Moton or JRZ system. One will make your car look good and the other is a race system thats actually engineered to improve the car's handling and balance.

 

Yes my baby needs a drop i have been stuck for the past 2yrs still contemplating what to get. the Suspension on this car is good from the factory as it was made for tearing up the twisties it's a roadster after all. I wan't to do it right and not waste my money on 1 suspension then realize i should have spent the money on something better right away. I will most likely do Zeal, Top Secret or Spoon. I honestly only wan't about an inch-1.5 inch drop at most while maintaining a relatively smooth ride.


The main factors ive been weighing
1. Performance it's gotta be a holy shit i can't berlieve how good my car handles as opposed to just dropping it for looks and saying my car looks better lowered but i don't notice that much of a difference.

2. Build quality it's gotta last and stand up to some punishment. While i don't beat the piss out of my car I do like to take it on some spirited runs.

3. Cost hey don't want to spend a fortune but most of the time you get what you pay for.
