Default Has anyone install Koni Yellow shock on 2007?

I had Koni yellow on my previous '00 ; it worked great.

Just traded-in for '07 two days ago and wanted to improve the damping rate on my current '07 by going with Koni yellow again.
However, the Koni website says the PN is designed for 00-05. In addition, I don't know the stock damping rate so not really sure if the Koni has the range to increase the damper rate over stock '07.

Has anyone install Koni yellow on '07?
Can you share your experience?

Thanks.

I have the "standard" Ground Control coilover/Koni Yellow setup on my MY06 S2000. No issues. You shouldn't have any problems running Koni's on your MY07.

Thanks..

I am not familiar with Ground Control so I assume the 'Ground Control' is a spring not a coilover. I interpret Coilover as "Spring + integrated shocks".
I have heard of Tein Coilover but they cost ~$1350 last time I check.

The name "Ground Control coilover" is a little mis-leading because it is not a "true" coilover setup. The Ground Control coilovers simply allow you to adjust your ride height. This is a pretty popular setup for the S2000 for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on their suspension.
