how stiff of springs can you run on stock valving? would it handle 1000f 800r? or would you need to revalve
628lbs is what I've been told.

I have had the NSX suspension geometry put into a computer model and mapped out the roll center at various ride heights and degrees of roll - to determine the question you are asking as well as where the RCAs will put the suspension geometry at. I have not done this for the S2000.
How slim are the chances of this happening to the S?
This would really be awesome!

Well that sucks forreal. Who does a good job at autocross revalving for stiffer springs. Can someone else give some input on this?

are the kw's set up straight out of the box? reason i ask is because i have just fitted my set which i bought new, but have not played around with any of the settings as yet. the car rides fine and feels much better than what i was running before.

if they are setup out of stock i can just leave them as they are but if they aren't then ill have to adjust them.

If you even have to ask, just leave them as they are.

lol i know how to set up the coilovers, i just wasn't sure if they are set up out of the box. The assumption is that they would be, but who knows what this crazy world is doing these days.

I wouldn't go much past 628lbs on the V3s. 628/515 or 628/571 work very well. You can always put a large front bar up front to increase front roll stiffness. I'm not sure about autocross (and I don't do autocross events/familiar with how to make S2Ks work on autocross) but for road courses, said rates work very well.

I could do the S2000 in the computer model but I would need a car for a day or two and some funds to make it happen (not too expensive).

KWs are not set up from the factory. Set the ride height as the manual says (and make sure they are even right to left, and put my baseline damper settings on and it will handle and ride much better than it is right now. If you're happy driving it/better than you're old setup, you'll love it with a proper setup on it.
