Thanks. I bought them from Tirerack, they had them in stock and I always get fast shipping from them, price was as good as anywhere. They were $1,079 US plus shipping. Total price all in with shipping, tax, customs, broker fee, and HST was about $1,350 US. Tirerack charges you all the costs upfront so there is nothing to pay on delivery which is simple enough. Ordered Sunday, arrived at my door Wednesday.

These are the PSS version, shock dampening is fixed but everything I've heard is that they are pretty much perfect for a street driven S2000.

Thanks Nick. I've got some work to do on my front wheel spacers to get them tucked in a bit before I can get the coils dialed in, hopefully over the next couple weeks.

My rims are out for painting right now too, I won't see them until the end of next week.

That spring compressor may not work TBH. Those are short and tight coils.

This type would work much better for you.

Thanks Jason, that looks like a nice kit, what brand is that ?.

I used my compressor tool on the oem springs tonight to remove the top hats and they worked well. I'll see how it goes on the Bilsteins. I saw an s2ki post on a Bilstein coilover install and the member had a similar style of tool as mine. I'll be testing it out this week.

You don't need the tool for the PSS. Just lower the spring perch so you can get the top hat on without any spring pressure... Then use the coil over tool to adjust the height.

Yeah my bad, didn't actually "look" at those PSS. Those bitches will be loose when bottomed out.

I don't know but it seemed like I needed to have a compressor tool on there, and Jason you were right that it wasn't a great fit, but I made it work. I just did the fronts, maybe the rears will be easier.

If you lower them all the way down you shouldn't. Didn't need it for my KW's either

I got the rears on today without needing a compressor, they went on easy. I had the fronts all the way down but I didn't have enough weight to push them down far enough and I needed to use the compressor on the fronts for some reason. I got all four corners assembled now, I don't want to do this job too many times. lol.
