Default Thinking of joining the fold :)

Hi

Apologies for posting this car based thread in here but I was after a bit of specific advice!

I currently have a VX220 but I'm looking for a more practical alternative. I've been out today to test drive a 350z and an s2000 and I think the s2k will be the best option

Thing is I cant decide wether to sell my VX and the daily runabout and put the whole lot towards an S (should be about 15-16k) or spend less of that budget to get a slightly older car and spend a bit extra on something like coilovers to get the handling a bit nearer what I'm used to with the VX220.

The test drive I had today in the S was enough to convince me its a good move but I did find the suspension could probably do with being a bit firmer for me personally. Just wondered what results people had got with coilovers/spring kits and if I can reasonably expect the handling to get reasonably close to what I'm after.

I will do a search on this but if I could also ask briefly if I do go for a pre 2004 car are the main differences purley cosmetic or have there been any major dynamic changes in the s2000s life so far?

Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions

Jon

Jon, see the Technical FAQ at the top of the UK forum - that has all the differences between the model years.
