Default Bought a S2k on Saturday :)

Ok so I went to the Honda dealership to look at a new Civic for the GF.........walked out with a 2003, brand new 0 miles, S2k for myself instead I didn't get a lot of time to play with it as I just drove it from the dealership home, and then to the airport to catch a flight. My 1st impression of the S2k was that it was slow.........but then I actually drove it and that car is pretty fun and handles like a dream! It handles better than my supra could ever hope to. My question is I guess on suspension setups. I feel like a newb because I'm asking these kind of questions. What is one of the better setups out there for suspension? Going fast with the s2k in a straight line doesn't interest me as I am putting a T74 on my supra but handling well is something my supra will never be able to do, so that is where I want to concentrate on my S2k. I guess just any starting tips for me on where to look for s2k parts would be great. Thanks and I hope this car brings me lots of enjoyment

Learn to drive it well first, completely stock.

Then start tweaking the suspension! A few things can change the handling quite a bit on the S2K (front strut, springs/shocks, xbrace and sway bars).

I've never seen one with 0 miles on the odometer. They usually come with 5-11 straight off the boat.

well i wouldn't say it's "slow" with only 0-15 miles on it...should break it in first... but compared to a supra i guess it's "not as fast"

Ok well it has something like 68 miles on it.....thanks trendy.....yeah its more an expression I guess. Its silver, I got a great deal on it because the owner of the dealership is one of my friend's wife's dad........

What I was thinking for it right now is just like the JIC coil-overs, some wheels, some bigger brakes, and strut bars......but thats a pretty generic list. I haven't really delved into the different aftermarket companies that make products for the S2k, or good places to buy parts.
