I have this set up. It is not "stock" I run the shocks about 1/2 turn from full soft and they ride firm but not harsh. On full soft, they are very comfortable. I have not tried them at full stiff yet. I may do this soon but I would guess that it would be almost intolerable for daily driving.

I am completely and totally pleased with my set up. It is strictly a street driven car.

 

I've had Mugen N-0's on my S2000 for the past yr. & half & have been very pleased w/ them. Works good for the street & track due to the fact that your able to adjust them to full stiff or soft w/ a couple turns of a flat head screwdriver. Corner balancing & an alignment are very important in getting the suspension just right (I had 4 alignments done before I was finally pleased w/ the set-up).

Good luck w/ your decision. I agree w/ the other guys that the stock suspension works very well & that if you want to go faster the only way to do so in this car is to spend $$$.

Next time around I'll be going w/ a set of JRZ's

 

Hmm... I think the JRZ 1 way's are the ticket for most of us noobs. This is a quality piece, no leaking, from a quality manufacturer. It gives you a single adjustment to play which is more then enough if you really don't know what the heck you are doing. If you stick with stock springs it can be had for $600/corner. You can pay that much for certain japanese coil-overs and i think this system will be far superior.

 

Theres a couple people on here that have installed the Zeal B6 coils on there S2Ks and I wondered how they held up. I would love to go with the JRZ or Moton Suspension Setup, dont know if I have the money for it, Im really not into competing so Im really not trying to make my car a fast track car. Maybe Im just rambling. I think I will ask Jeff Shi tommorrow about his Tein CS coils after I get a price on the ARC induction box from him. Anyways this is a good thread guys Thanks.

The problem with most inexpensive replacement shocks in the rear is that they don't have enough travel. There's a reason that the stock shocks use a remote reservoir setup. We've bottomed out so-called "performance" shocks on the track...what happens next isn't pretty.

 

Check the Bilstein PSS9. Great Ride
I think is one of the best choices for middle-budjet situations.

I've had seat time with several models of Teins, the Buddy Clubs and the JICs, and I think they pretty much all suck on everything but super smooth tracks with no transitions. The BCs were ok until they got hot and the damping went away, the Teins had too much compression damping and not enough rebound, the JICs never felt very good and went away when hot like any needle valve shock.

I'm really happy with my JRZ singles.

 

So just a generic question, Are the JRZ's nice on the street(daily driving)? If so I may as well go with them, just have to save up some money. Thanks guys for all the input
