if its nice this Friday I'll bring it in. Normally I only drive it to work like 1 day a week. Where in Reston are you? I work in the SAIC building off Sunset Hills, within walking distance to Chic-Fil-A.

I work at Unisys on sunset hills. I don't drive mine to work at all. I store my car at my friend's place near fair lakes and i live in alexandria. Only drive it in the weekend...and take road trips with it.

^Sorry, I've been so swamped at work I haven't written up any other reviews.
I LOVE the coil-overs! They are exactly what I was expecting, which was a suspension that was not super stiff, but feels more buttoned down then stock, offers height adjustabilty and better dampening.
Lets put a 1-10 scale in place, whereby our stock suspension is a 5 in regards to ride stifness...I'd put the H&R's at like a 6.5-7. Really its not bad AT ALL. The installer thought it was stiff, but he doesn't drive an S2000 normally. My friend, who has a Boxster thinks the S2000 is stiffer, he got in my car after the H&R's and was amazed at how comfortable it is.
Again, I wasn't looking for a TRACK setup, I wanted a street setup I could take to the track once in a while. This accomplishes that beautifully. I have not taken the car on any tight turns yet, just haven't had time, but the 'lane change' movements are instantaneous.
