Default Making the S2000 a little more comfortable?

I'm not a young man anymore. What can I do to make the interior and suspension a little more comfortable and easier to live with? Thank you!

Mabey. However, since the orignal poster is a former member of the armed services, perhaps a little respect is in order.

Most of the aftermarket parts for the car tend to make it less "comfortable" and more "harsh" as this is supposed to improve handeling characteristics.

I'm sorry, I can't be more help.

Heated Seats are the only thing I can really think of.

Sound deadening material would make the car more soothing. Ride-wise, I can't think of anything you can do that won't compromise the handling.

You could use stock AP1 (2000-2003) wheels and tires, they ride a little smoother than what came on your 2006.

Sound deadening material in the trunk and cabin would help.

Just a thought and I have no technical data to support my idea. Most say that we should use tires with a rating of of Z or W (Ibelieve). This is not so much because we expect to drive that fast but because the tires offer better handling characteristics. What about a set of tires with a rating of T, U, or V? Wouldn't the sidewalls be a little softer allowing for more cushion?
