Default spoon coilovers or kg/mm?

Does anyone have Spoon coilovers or kg/mm springs and have used them on the track? I'm curious to know how they perform

I've got the DR21 KGMM 'Race' springs on my S2000. While I haven't taken the car on the track since I put the springs on, the car handles very well with them fitted. And I drive my car on the street.....HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't *****foot around.

I was 'going' to buy the Comptech coilovers, but decided to save the money and get the progressive rate KGMM's. The car doesn't bounce or hop and I am very happy with it. Lowers the car about 1.5".

In a few months when it gets warmer, I'm going for 18" wheels. Should be a nice pair of mods.

After I posted this........I noticed the active 'swearing' *** takes the fun out of posting when I tried to write the word 'pus-sy'! But how come someone can still write the word shit? I don't get it. Oh well.

Give Richard Ming an email. He owns the company 'Import Development', and goes by the handle 'Mingster' on this forum.

Jose, is that you???

My S2000 isn't in winter storage 'per se' as I still have to be able to drive it when abolutely necessary (ie. if my wife is at work in her car and I need to drive to get somewhere!!).

But you're welcome to come and look at it if you like. I'll be at home Friday and mostly over the weekend as well. Send me an email to sl_richards@hotmail.com, and we can tee up a time to get together.

Cheers,

Thanks Sime

I know the kg/mm are supposed to be dual rate, but do you know what the rates are? Can you specify them? Also, how are your stock shocks w/ those springs?

sime - yep, it's me. i've been thinking about these springs for a while, but most people who have pics also change rims. i doubt i'll change rims, so i'd love to come see the car - i will email you over the weekend and we'll meet up. thanks for your time. jose.
