MAKE/MODEL: HONDA S2000 AP1
YEAR: 00+
SPRING RATE: 296 / 363
DROP (F/R): -1.0 / -1.0

eibach pro kit:
spring rate: 262/342
drop (f/r) -1.0/-1.0

I've been running on the teins for 2yrs already. Installed em with 72k miles and have 110k now. Shocks still ride great. I think the stiffer spring rates help the longevity of the shocks since they probably have a little less travel than they would with the eibach's.
so whats the stock AP1 spring rate?

I'm on Tein S-Tech's and I've been happy with them so far. I wanted a small drop that wouldn't look dumped or aggressive and allowed me some daily driveability. They ride alittle stiffer than stock and give better preformance in the twisties. If you want a more aggresive drop, I'd go Eibach/Espilir. Good luck with the install, it definately takes awhile.

tein is a great quality spring while still being more affordable than eibach. i loved the ride with it as well. good drop while still being able to go up and down a steep driveway without a problem.

Are the Swifts that good?


I was in between the Swift mach sport springs or the Esp ASD Springs.

Not sure which ones
