That's actually a very good price. Comptech sells the same shocks for $796.

Nothing for the S2000 is cheap.

Yeah, I did that. Just know that the stock shocks don't handle as well on a drop...and that they will eventually wear out and the car's cornering will be affected. That's the boat I'm in now. I can hang in the turns with the other S2000s but I feel loose all the time.

No, not initially. I have driven my car for 40K miles on the stock shocks with lowering springs.

I don't know, I didn't do my springs and I don't plan on doing my shocks. There's an article in the Library about doing the springs/shocks.
