Default Bilstein Coilovers

What are your opinions on this company? Is their stuff any good? I was looking into their coilover system for my S. What are the pros and cons of adding a coilover system? I heard the suspension of the S2000 should be left as it is.

Please give me your thoughts and feedback.

Thanks.

The S2000 already has a coilover system.

If you feel there is a need to tighten things up and add some height adjustability, then go for the Bilsteins. If you want a bit more in Tuning, go for the Koni's. If you want to adjust everything possible with the shocks, then go for Teins, Mugen's, etc. There are lots of choices, lots of opinions, but the more you want to adjust, the more dollars will need to be sucked out of your pocket.

Only do what you feel you should change. But make sure you get some track experience, at least in stock form. Learn those limits then you can see what the shocks can do for you at a later time.

BTW, I had Bilsteins on my Miata R model some time ago. Great shocks, but harsh. Not adjustable in a sense of 'soft to hard'. Its more of an auto-adjusting shock.

If you are interested in upgrading your coilover system, let me know.
