I have Ground Control coilovers with stock shocks, and am very happy with the performance on racetrack and street. Definitely firmer and less body sway than stock ('00, for reference). I don't find that the shocks are "overwhelmed" by the spring rates. I think improved shocks might be the next step, but right now I'm thinking that I'll likely have to step up to something like Advance Design/JRZ/Moton/Penske to see a clear improvement over the current setup.

Adjusting the coil-overs is easy, and I recommend *against* huge amounts of drop with the stock shocks.

GC's and a larger front sway bar are, IMHO, the best $700 you can spend on an S2000 if you want to improve handling!

TKG, I think that is pretty good. 70k??? Hope I get that many out of my stockers?? How can you tell the shocks are no good anymore?? Do hit a bump and and bounce for like a mile?? hehe.

DR21's are the sh*t. Lemme know how the konis work with the KG/MM's.
