Default HSD coilovers


I've driven a Skyline that uses these coilovers and I have to say I was really impressed.
But as we all know that the S2000 is very sensitive suspension, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried them and what are their thoughts. I'm currently running Bilstein coilovers, but these are not bump or rebound adjustable. So over the coming months I might change the coilovers along with some other suspension mods I'm going to make.

If they were any good you would find either most of EU or USA using them on the S2000.

They dont', they fit TEIN or KW normally.

So I guess there is the answer.

£670 coilovers for a £670 ride.

Worth noting that most of the cheaper coilover kits are made in Taiwan in the same factory and then branded....unlike Tein and other decent brands.

If you look around on the USA forums, in particular:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showforum=193

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showforum=11

And search in there.
That market is substantially bigger than that in the EU.
If theres a decent product on the market, these boys with far deeper pockets would mention it.

Probably better off keeping with the decent quality oem dampers (Showa) but lower and stiffer springs at that price point?

I also agree with the comments above.

If it was me, I'd save up for KW's or if not, try BC coilovers from Garage R, at least you can PM some of the guys on the uk forum for feedback.
