Within the year I'm looking upgrade a few parts on the s2000, hopefully by purchasing a new suspension. My stock suspension has 100k+ on them, by this time I would assume that they see a little tired.

I've been reading about the Blistens pss9's and they seem to be a good fit for my car. My s2000 isn't a daily driver anymore but used for occasional mountain runs, twisties, and to "get away" from troubles. I don't think the car will see a race track or an autocross session, but if it does i would want the car to be ready.

I want the suspension to outperform stock, be as comfortable or more comfortable than stock, and adjustiable but not to complicated. I don't want to lower the car to the point where I have to worry about speed bumps and rubbing. Keeping it stock height or near stock height would be perfect.

I will be running ap2 rims, tire size will be 225/45/17 & 255/40/17.

Will the Blisten pss9 suspension cause rubbing? I don't want to roll or modify fenders.

 

I have had a good experience with Koni yellows and CR springs, but if you want something a little better, PSS9 is a very good choice for the price. I will say that KW V3's are very good out of the box, and give a very good ride, but may be out of your price range. If you have a pair of jackstands, a jack, and some place with shade you can totally swap out the suspension with basic hand tools. When jacking up the car use wheel chocks don't rely on the hand brake or your jack can slip and can wreck your fenders when the car lands on your jackstand.

 

I looked at the V3's but they seem overkill for a street driven car.

How do people usually fit their suspensions on their cars without any form of rubbing; is it just trial and error?

 

You can lower the car an inch and a half on stock wheels before you have to worry about rubbing.
