Default Does anyone had HSD coilovers fitted?

Is there anyone with HSD coilovers fitted to the s2000? Im looking to spend a maximum of £500 on some coilovers to lower my car. I dont track my car or drive fast so it is for cosmetic reasons only, hence i cant justify spending over £500 to lower a car that is worth under 5 grand.

People with actual experience with these coilover only please! Rob

Have you considered KONI's ? The KONI yellows lowered my car by about 25mm (look in the NUT project thread, page 8 for more pics of how low it is, and see below) and I left the car on the original OEM springs, the KONI sports are rebound adjustable and I reckon you could get them alone for around £450-480 - they can be lowered further too, my car is on the highest perch, the pics below show my car on OEM springs and KONI dampers.




I just realised, I am also selling the H&R springs as these lowered the car a further 25mm when used with the KONI's but on a stock car you could put these H&R srpings on and get 15% firmer spring and a nicely lowered (25mm) car, they are brand new and would do what you require I want around £200 for them (well within your budget) .. have a look by all means Lowering Springs for SALE

If you want coilovers for a cheap price:

Pretty much what you get from HSD/Racing Logic etc, except without the brand name markup
