Default Favorite suspension setup?

I was thinking about buying the Tein Flex's with the EDFC when the Flex come out later in summer(what i heard from TeinUSA)and maybe the front and rear under bars from Cusco just for now.I was wondering for those of you who have spent a good deal of money and time in working with your suspension, whats your favorite? Please include what you use your setup for mainly and how it feels on your road conditions. (IE. race setup, street setup, etc) Thanks alot

sorry to burst your bubble, but EDFC does not fit on the s2000... not enough room for it to be in there

I think Tein is just about ready with the Flex on the S2000...

IIRC there is one guy on the board with the prototype Flex/EDFC

The stock suspension is pretty damn good.

Of course being one that can't leave well enough alone - I just installed some Buddy Club coilovers. Not enough seat time to make a real judgement yet... a couple of autocrosses in early June will help me decide on whether I love the new setup or not...

i agree stock suspension is very good. i used to have a bmw m coupe with adjustable sways, springs and shocks, and the s2k stock out corners it by a huge margin, i cant wait for my wheel/tire/coil over setup to be done. edfc is a cool toy, but unless you are at different tracks weekly or something then its pointless. it will only lead to fiddeling with your setup daily. Just take a day when you first get your coils to set them up. find a series of corners (the same ones, no variables) and set it up that way. im on stock at the moment and havent decided on my setup yet, probally going with the tien R/A's. i hope changing lanes wont be too much worse, my cd's skip when i change lanes just from the " spot dots" (dont know their name, but the reflective dots on the road) ill probally end up getting an ipod or something instead.

No complaints so far. At the middle setting (and set for a low ride height - 1 finger gap rear 1/2 pinky gap front ) the car seemed very stable and rode about the same as my last setup which was the stock '02 shocks and kg/mm supersport springs.

I have to raise the ride height a bit (some rubbing issues with my SSRs and then it's alignment time and then I'll post the results)

HTH

Damn keep'em coming. I appreciate this alot. I know the stock suspension is awesome but like lig said I dont think I can leave it alone. Thank guys.
And with profpin's setup, I could imagine it not being comfortable at all like he says.
