Stratocaster,

Do you do any AutoX? I have the same problems as you with regard to speed humps, so I can't go too low, maybe stock like you. But do you feel reduction in roll in tight corners?

I also don't want a bone jarring ride. I think the OEM is pretty stiff as is, except for too much roll in AutoX corners on R compound.

I am contemplating PSS9s and/or a Gendron FSB. Don't know which to do first to have the best roll reduction.
Nope, not Autox. Just lots of track time with Toyo RA1 on the car. I have an 02 AP1, so everything was a bit softer then the prior years. The body does roll, but I am on the car hard at the track. I have had a few instructors drive my car that own and drive S2000. They like them alot and after the first run, they ask what I had done to the car, and that is all I have done.

A well know owner that works for Eibach (spelling?) installed a set on his shock dyno. He said they performed better them all other systems sub 3K. That is if I remember correctly.

I think the Gendron FSB will help alot to meet your requirements for body roll. I plan to install one on my track only car when it is ready to roll.

Thanks for the input. This thread has put me back on to them. I would prefer non progressive, but it is a road car first.

you can swap springs for linear and bump up the rates a bit

It comes with linear springs, it's not progressive.

Too bad I'm traveling this weekend or else I'd put these on. =[

it utilizes your OEM top mounts.

You will need a spring compressor to disassemble your stock shocks

How much can you up the spring rate on these without having to revalve them?
