I had a rear wheel bearing go bad so while i got things apart i want to replace all the old bushings. Take my time and go thru the whole car.
Does anybody make a complete kit for the s2000? What is the best set for the money for a track car?
Thanks for the help.

 

Energy suspension get there- or if you are rolling in dough, powerflex or spoon/mugen

 

I love my energy suspension kit.. Front and rear control arms for me.. Great buy.

 

I have power flex and I like it

If you do the fronts I have a set of bolts I you need them

 

A couple votes for the energy suspension setup. looking for a group buy if someone knows best for the buck kit.
I went with a set of 4 Tr motorsports 9" wheels and have some rubbing on the control arm on the right side front.
My track car was a front end collision before i got it so trying to get things sorted out.

 

Word to the wise on the energy kit, since I am doing mine right now, triple check that the right bushings are in the kit before you take anything apart. I received a kit without AP2 rear upper bushings despite a call to energy to validate that both AP1 and AP2 SHOULD be in every kit. When I contacted the distributor I found that ALL their kits on the shelf were missing the same bushings.

Their inability to manage their supply chain aside, I have used energy on several other cars and have been very pleased with the results. If my missing bushings get to me in time I will be running the car with them at ACS this sunday so expect some kind of review posting after that.

 

This is pretty common at full steering lock and isn't a big deal. My RPF1 17x9's rub in the front at full lock.


Here's something of a price comparison between the Energy Suspension and Powerflex bushings:






The price difference is huge but I'm leaning toward the much stiffer Powerflex Race bushing for my race car. Since you can order the Powerflex piecemeal I may start by replacing the front and rear upper arm bushings and do the more labor intensive lower arms next winter and spread the cost and downtime.

 

I decided the much stiffer Powerflex Race bushings were worth the extra cost. I went ahead and ordered the upper front and rear Powerflex Race bushings from GTMotoring--they're a site sponsor. GTMotoring's discount prices on the Powerflex bushings can be seen in this thread: GTMotoring Powerflex Bushings

 

I have started the suspension bushing replacement how-to. So far it only includes the upper a-arm replacement. Here's a couple of pics from the how-to:

I flattened the face of a 1" socket to use as the bushing driver.

I was going to do the same but got lazy. Good one rob
