i went with kg/mm springs b/c they're the only springs that offer dual rate technology. basically gives you nice ride comfort when driving normally and the extra performance kicks in when you start taking turns.
the koni yellow shocks are undoubtably some of the best shocks out there. gchambers posted a link showing that these shocks outperform some of those shocks that come with the 'jdm' brand coilovers (tein, buddy club, etc).
im 98% pleased with the setup, i just wish the rear was a bit lower to make the ride look 100% even. however, that would make the camber much worse since i'm already running at a minimum of -2 degrees in the rear.

Can you please give a comparison to how it rides compared to stock? I'm mainly just concerned about city driving. How does it handle bumps, uneven surfaces, etc.?

I ran the kg/mm supersports for a while on stock shocks and the ride was pretty close to stock. Having said that - the ride height was pretty close to stock also. 
I'm happier with the bc coilovers. They are clearly firmer but not *too* bad.

Hey Razor, many people have said that the KGMM race and koni setup gives a really harsh\stiff ride compared to stock. Some have even changed their setup because it was unbearable.

think about it, some people complain that even the stock s2000 suspension is too stiff . this gives you an idea of the different types of people who drive these cars.

Koni / Eibach / Ground Control coilovers, corner balanced. These are my first coilovers so I have nothing to compare, though a bit of math indicates that most JDM stuff (Buddy Club etc ) are too stiff, especially for moderate street use. Seems like a quality product as well. Right, Ryan?

how are the rsr/koni combo doing? I heard the rsr gives the ride an equal front and back drop considering stock the rear on the s2k is higher.
