Default S2000 suspension options

Well, I had KG/MM race springs on my stock shocks for about 30k miles - Needless to say the shocks took a beating and now I need to replace them, they're on OEM springs atm as well

Is spending $1000.00+ really necessary?

I would like a full coil over setup like the Tein's but wouldn't something like springs for a drop and Koni yellow's do for daily driving?

How big a difference is there between the two?

if you have to ask, the coilovers are probably a little much.


for daily and light spirted drives, spring/shocks would be more then enough to quinch your thirst, you also save a pretty penny going this route.

I just wanted to drop the car a little,for good looks,and improve handling at the same time(spirited street driving+3-4 track days/year).
Went with Kg/mm sports+Koni yellow.
Nice drop,+/-1",much better handling,and a little stiffer ride.

one thing you might want to keep in mind, I think that a spring and koni shock setup is around $800 for everything new, when you're spending that much you may as well spring for the little extra for a used set of tein coil overs.
