Although not necessarily the way I would have worded it, I agree to the extent that the only reason to change the suspension on a street S2000 is to change the ride height. The stock suspension is more than adequate (and most of the time better) for street use.

But for aggressive driving the adjustability of the coilovers is the true benefit. Under-steering? Over-Steering? A few clicks of a few dials and you can get your car neutral again.

Tires change, road/track conditions change. Being able to adjust your car's suspension to get the most out of it is the reason for Coilovers IMHO. That's why if you choose to purchase a set, and truly use them, make sure you have the adjustable sort on your wishlist.

i was a little rough with my words, i agree, didn't mean any disrespect, truly mate, but suspension tuning is so awesome. Guys take you S's to the track, taking it to the limit you will notice things about your handling that you are gonna want to correct right away, thats why with every run you make one adjustment, another run, another adjustment until you have your suspension tuned the way you like it, you will appreciate your investment aLOOOOOOT more, just my 2cents
