I recently purchased Tein CS coilovers for the purspose of slightly imporved handling, and looks. I in no way want to sacrifice stock ride comfort, or handling. I don't want to ruin a good thing that honda has already done.
What I'm asking is, what has been your experience with lowering the S2000 with coilovers. I doubt anyone else bought CS coilovers like me, but I hear the FLex is pretty close. It seems like most in the community have the RA's or FLEX. But I was just wondering what to expect when I do decide to actually install them. THanks!

 

IMO, you will have trouble improving lap times with any of the aftermarket suspensions. As far as looks, that's a very personal issue and it's your car, not mine.

To get the most benifit from them you need to have the vehicle corner balanced and an aligned.

 

I agree with josh, corner balancing is the key to a set of coilovers if you are trying to improve handling, etc.
With the right adjustments on the shocks, you should be able to mimic stock ride comfort. It's going to take some time though, make an adjustment, drive a day or so, make an adjustment, etc..
I know with my Tein FLex on my Civic, it took me like 4 weeks to get it how I liked it, and I also had to get away from adjusting them equally. I found that one side, or even just one corner needed to be set stiffer or softer then another to get it perfect. For the longest time I kept making all sides equal, with just a small difference from front to rear. Not until I broke that habit did I get it dialed in just the way I liked it.

But remember, even the best drivers in the World have made their best lap times on stock suspension.

 

Lowering is inconsistent with maintaining stock ride comfort. In particular the rear suspension will hit limit stops much more often.

Also (of course) makes ground clearance problems worse.

 

well the car will never see a track....so I guess the stock stuff stays in! For sale...Tein CS coilovers!
