Mugen NZ coilover
I've had the NZ coilovers for the last 3.5 years (45,000 miles) including 7 trackday sessions. It dials out the snap oversteer in the AP1 cars, handling very neutral, and enhances steering feel. They are a bit of a rough ride on regular roads though and really meant more for the track. But still live-able nonetheless as you can tell by the mileage. Definitely a worthwhile mod (albeit pricey).
On the track, the car definitely hunkers down in high-g/high-speed sweepers. It changes the driving characteristic overall of the S2000 into another car altogether.

The ones im looking at come with ball bearing top hat, swift springs. Spring rate is F:11, R:7. Not shure on the mileage but they are in good shape 1500

Spring rates are reversed of what you have: Front 7 Rear 11
The ride is much more harsh than the other S2000 that I had bought which ran a stock shock + Neuspeed lowering springs.
I've never run with the F 11 R7 setup which is what the Spoon-spec Showa coilovers on my other S is running at. I guess it may help induce more understeer with those spring rates?
Also note, the Mugen coilovers do not have a reservoir unlike the stock Showa shocks or the Spoon coilovers.

You mean the little extra parts on the rears? what do they do? Have you tried the mugen exhaust? What are your thought s on it?
