koni yellows are the way to go, i dont even know if they offer koni reds for the s2000. but if they do, don't get the reds.

I have some Koni Yellows for sale if you're interested. They're brand new in the box. I got them from another member on this board but I've decided to hold off. I'll post them on the for sale section in a few days. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure Koni only makes one off the shelf application for the s2000

the body of the shock has different perch settings and there is a ring. you move the ring to any of the perch settings and that will adjust the height(this is where the spring will rest on). in other words, once you install the shock with the chosen perch setting, you cannot change it. you need to make sure you choose the right perch setting before installation.

as far as the firmness adjustment goes, that can be adjusted at any time. there are these white knobs that koni supplies and you attach it to the top of the shock body. for the front adjustment, you need access through the engine bay. for the rear adjustment, i *think* you will need to pull back the carpet lining in the trunk to get to the top of the shock(well atleast thats how it is on my 94 accord).

Is that adjustable spring perch SCCA B-Stock legal? I have Koni Yellows in my MR2 but they are just strut inserts - you can't adjust ride height with them.
