this is a great thread !

They do, but too much beyond about a 1" drop and you'll be looking to replace the OEM struts within a year or so. They just don't seem to last on a big drop.

And the S2k has been around for how many years and we don't have anything like this. Ohh well. Anyway, I figured I'd help contribute to your post.

Anybody with price info please post where so it can be updated

Also, to the OP we differed with the Tanabe GF210, I ended up going to Tanabe's website and found the same 4.5/5.5, just wondering where your info came from. I don't want to be giving out the wrong info.

This will continue to be updated....
RSR makes Ti2000 Down Springs for the S2000? I'm at there website and it says they don't have any for the S2000.

I know it is your sarcasm coming out, but just for yucks I'll post a couple links for those that want to read on.......

Wikipedia of a Strut

and one on the Double-Wishbone (no not from a deformed Turkey!!)

Wiki listing for Double Wishbone

Just as a side-note, when renting the compression tool from Autozone you must ask for the one for struts - as the design has the spring clamped from the outside as opposed to the tool that is sent down the middle of the spring. That is where my reference originated.

So would Tein S-techs make my 07 s prone to more oversteer? Im also geting the tanabe front sway? Would these two mods make my car pretty neutral through a turn or prone for more oversteer or understeer? (all else being stock)
