Has anyone changed the stock suspension of the S2000 to softer riding ones? I bought the car knowing that it won't give a cushy ride and I thought I could live with a suspension like that. As it turns out, the bouncing and wallowing on every slight undulation on the road is starting to take its toll on me.

I'm quite sure the rubber suspension stoppers have been removed since I have gone down on my knees with a flashlight to check. I don't do any auto-crossing or slalom testing with the car which would require the stiff suspension. I just do simple straight line blasting for overtaking. Wrong car, huh?

So, If anyone has changed their suspension to adjustable or coil-over shocks, kindly post the details and price.

Tein makes a suspension kit to make cars ride softer. It's called the CS. I'm currently getting things in order for a big group buy on many types of wheels and also on tein suspension kits. I would have to check with the distributor, but I believe my price on the CS dampener would be about $1764. According to the catalog, you will need to use Tein rubber upper mounts, but I couldn't find a price on those. If you're interested, email me and I'll get back to you when I have more info.

BTW, RA's will be about $1915 and RS's will be about $2642 for a set. RA's and RS's both require pillowball mounts. I will have to double check on the price for those, but I think they'll run about $386 a set.
