I'd say the Xbrace, I debated on this issue too whether or not to get the xbrace....

So I got the Ricks Xbrace, that an expensive piece of twisted metal. But I like it alot. No regrets.....

Track time.

 

Honestly, tire and good driver is a toss up.

If you're already a good driver, and you're competing with another good driver of your equal, the tires are going to make that huge difference.

but if you need aid because you're a bad/average driver, then you'll need driving school.

Just because you're driving an Enzo, that doesn't make you a Michael Shumacher.

Stock S2000 already has a great strut and spring setup. You would just as well spend some money on the tires, if you want improvement.

Coilovers should be something you do after you understand your car more and know your driving style, because the biggest advantage of the coilovers are, besides adjustability and corner weighting, the fact that you could adjust the camber and the height to fit the course or your driving style without overthrowing the balance of the suspension geometry.

 

I'm an acomplished driver. After a wile i noticed there was still to much body roll in the turns which made the car feel unsafe and wishy washy in some of my more agressive manuvers. The first thing i did was put 1 '' wheel spacers to widen the track which did help some to stabilize the car but there was still to much lean. Next I decided the pro Eiback 1- springs all the way around, this I was very happy with, they are about 20% stiffer then stock which was definatly noticable but not over stiff for the stock dampers. I drove like this for about 2 years until I decided to get the Race spec Buddy Club. I am extremly happy with these. If you can save a few hundred more you would be ultimatly better off with these but You will also be very happy with the results of the spacers and Eibacks for half the price. Don't listen to the crap people are saying about not going with after market coils on our stock shocks. Iv'e done both and they do work well as long as they are no more then 1- drop and are not overly stiff, my factory shocks never blew out and the car handled better with them. Eibacks are I feel the best choice as they have actualy put development time in to fitting these to our car.

 

x 100%

 

uk spec alignment may help as well

 

No you're not. If you were, then the first thing you did would not have been to put 1" spacers on

The one thing that unites all human beings is that we all believe we are above-average drivers. Think about that one for a sec.

Buy track time if you want to go faster. Buy mods if you like to play with toys (guilty here).

 

Eibachs and tires. Upsize to 225 in the front.

You will need an alignment after the springs and tires and you can take the opportunity to do the UK alignment or even more aggressive if you don't mind the camber wear.

 

1" spacers? We put 1/4" spacers on our WRX because the 5zigens wouldn't fit with the JIC coilovers. I didn't even like the 1/4" spacers and ordered wheels with more offset so we wouldn't have to run spacers. I would never intentionally put spacers over a few mm on the car.
