^^ some people consider them abit 'soft' also if you like your car 'slammed' then they dont do the job either.

Alrighty, a coilover thread for the S2000.
This will likely be my next purchase in the coming month's time.
Looking at buying the Bilstein PSS9's, but could be swayed to say T1R or Jic coils too.
What I want to know is, what would you guys recommend for spring rates F&R for my S?
ATM the car is just used on weekends, but I do intend to do some light track duties in the near future when the car is more 'complete' - aka coilovers + more boost etc!
So, AU conditions, weekender, light track work, height and damper adjustible, with a budget of about.... $1700ish I guess.
Looking for feedback, general input, and your thoughts.
It's been covered afew times now.

Read around.
Bilstein Pss9's would be better then the JIC and T1R. Only thing is people say they are abit soft for the track.
If you car is only a weekender why not get some more hardcore coilovers. You got the power get the suspension, Moton, JRZ or some not as hardcore Ohlins, Kw V3's or Jdm style BC RSD, Tein SRC.
I have a daily civic, but my s2000 gets driven more then just on weekends and I run 12kg springsrates and they are fine. I want to upgrade to new coils soon, but some other parts are more important at the moment.
Didn't think we had a proper coilover thread!Quote:

EDIT: I know there's plenty of you guys out their with coils in your cars. Speak up! haha. I'd like some first hand info and feedback before I go clicking the Buy button.
PSS9:
Comes with blue springs (updated since the last version came with red springs).
Spring rate: F 6 kg/mm (330 lbs/ft) and R 5 kg/mm (245 lbs/ft).
Damper adjustment is pretty linear from 9-2 until the stiffest setting (1) as it makes the suspension rock hard but it can be soft... depending on the damper setting.
PSS9 won't allow you to slammed the car as there is a limitation of how low it can go, about 1 finger at the rear and half finger at the front.
Body roll is still noticeable since it has low spring rate but it all depends on the swaybar thickness as well.
Hope that helps
Now, click the Buy Button :)

I highly recommend the buddyclub RSD, but they are out of the $1700 range.
Mine are great for daily, I have a civic to drive daily, but the S is too tempting. I can slam the car if I want as the height doesnt affect the dampening, its dual adjust. Very firm spring rates, but I really like them.
I have the whiteline front sway, with the RSD and RE001, Im more than happy with the improvement over stock.
How much are the RSD's?
I don't want to spend more than $2K. I'm trying to cut down on my S2K spendings lately so if I can keep it below $2K, I'll be happy.
