BTW...I got them from Gruppe-s a year ago!!! I heard Wek-Sos will do $950 shipped!!! Good luck!!! Got lots of people asking me about it!!!


I love my N+ with pillow ball mount as well. Best bang for the money! I bought off the sponsor and got it shipped to my door for $900 even. Would of been less, but because of stupid CA taxes bump up my price!! Other people from out of state got it for $800-850.

1 1/2 dropped all around. 2 fingers gap between tires. With lower X brace by R&D sponsor here on s2ki for $100 shipped. Whiteline 30mm front sway bar $150 on ebay shipped.

-1.75 degree front camber
0 toes front

-2.25 rear camber
30. total toe

Euro specs + my own U.S. spec.

Now my car handle perfectly the way I want it to handles on track day. Before I had stock alignment done it was wild on n+ since my alignment was lame/stock. I hope to see how the car handle now with this set up. BTW 9 clicks front, 12 clicks rear. This doesn't bother me at all when I drive around town. Then again this is not my daily driver!!!

Happy Motoring!!!

installation is the same as any other suspension. Search the site, stock wheels, stock or over sized tires will be fine

Anyone know if these coilovers can maintain or come close to stock height? I do not want my car too much lower and I personally think a lowered car on stock 16's is one of the most, rediculous, ugly POS things ever but to each his own right. a 1" drop wouldn't be too much but I would want to stay closest to stock as possible.

I'm torn between these and function and form. I daily my car and hit track days from time to time. Im currently on s. techs with stock struts and don't like the ride too much. Would you guys recommend these? I like the reviews and what I've seen just wanna make sure before I drop some coin on these

Everything I've read so far from these coilovers has me convinced they're the way to go. I am planning on buying them in a few days and have one question. Can anybody post a picture of the front coilovers and what you did with the brake line since there's not a mount on the coilover? Thanks

I had RS Spec on my old S2000 and cannot rate them enough. Set on mid hard, they were super comfortable on the road and plenty stiff enough for track. I have also had Bilstein PSS9 on an S2000 and the Buddy Club RS were MUCH better IMO.

How to the N+ compare to the RS does anyone know? I'd like to stay Buddyclub on my new S2000 but not sure weather to save a little more for the Racing Spec or go for the N+....
