I have them set on the softest setting right on. I haven't played with the dampning yet, havn't had the time, with the snow and salt on the road lately. The ride is pretty firm with it on soft. I can feel almost every crack or spot in the road also. Not bouncy at all tho. Overall I like the ride.

ugotmade,

do they have non-adjustable konis for the s2000 also? im running kg-mm dr21 springs also but didnt want to have to buy the adjustable konis because i feel i dont need adjustable shocks. well let me know then.

this page lets see the shock types they sell. the sport, special, and sport-kit are the only one's that I can see are appropriate to put on the S

how do you like the kg/mm dr 21 i just got them in and i should be having them put on tomorrow? how much did they drop your car. what are your likes and dislikes of the springs?
I have no dislikes or regrets of getting them. My car droped around 2" maybe more b/c of the adjustable koni's.

i put in the kg/mm while using my stock shocks and can say that my ride and handling has been improved vastly. i wouldnt recommend any other spring for the s2000. however, my stock shocks are not worn out yet but will need to be replaced soon after about a year of rolling around in this setup.

they dropped my car exactly 1.3 inches or i have about a 2 finger gap in all my wheelwells. the drop is perfect. however i am worried about getting new shocks if this will affect my current ride height. does anybody know if non adjustable konis will affect my ride height also?

a great shock that won't drop your ride height and cost less than the Koni's are the KYB-AGX. Of course you can choose stock ride height with the koni's as well. I am on the KYB's and Racing Beat springs. I love my combo
