Default Suspension refresh

Going to be redoing the suspension and I want a high performance street car setup, so the Blistien PSS9 are the coilovers Ill be using, and since most of the components under there are the original, what things should I aim to replace?

Was lookin at new Mugen Hard rubber busshings and new roll center and camber adjusters... what else is a wear item that should be replaced?

This page has soo many options http://www.gotuning.com/index.php?fPath=S2000_3_200

CT also offers these adjusters http://ct-engineering.com/ProductLin...8/Default.aspx

Are the CT adjusters just as good or am I only playing for the name for the J's?

You don't need any of that stuff, just the coilovers and an alignment/cornerweighting.

Unless you're going hellaflush or slammed, which is not "high performance street".

Definitely doing the coilovers, but my original suspension has 170k miles on it. I dont need to replace any bushings that could have worn over time? I mean if I dont need to replace anything else then that alone sounds good! Im gonna take it to West End to get installed and aligned.

Try the coilovers first and see how it feels. Those aftermarket bushings and suspension mods usually cause their own set of problems. Hard to beat the stock Honda parts.

I'm kind of in the same mindset. My front Compliance bushings feel about shot and I've been looking for some decent replacements for them. I wont thread jack with my setup but I'm also on the market for some freshening up.
