S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

My 2008CR is a dedicated track car. I added KW3's two months ago and love the difference.

Oh nice, I just saw that the KW V3s for S2000s come with linear springs! For Bimmers, it seems like they always use progressive springs which ride like stock but are a crappy performance upgrade... It's nice to know the S2000 ones are legit

would love to see pics of these. was thinking about getting these since they are close to our spring rates and cheaper than coilovers. how good, bad or neutral is the handling?

Here's what the drop looks like. I assume it will settle a little bit lower than that eventually. The ride so far feels exactly the same on the street. These springs are exactly what I wanted, a mild drop with no penalty in handling. Sorry about the pics, I just washed the car for the first time and it hasn't been daytime yet.

didnt drop it as much as i thought it would, almost looks stock in the pics. they shouldnt settle to much, swifts are supposed to be pretty good. car does look good though, almost got BB but the wife wanted blue.

I think its sitting a little funny in these pics because I just had it jacked up to clean underneath. The front looks like it has some positive camber, which it doesn't. I'll get some better pictures some time.

i'll swap to something new once the suspension is done. i absolutely love the way it feels, and it doesn't look as bad as some people say.

yay stock =T

i saw the spec-r in another post and they look pretty good. i think you(cbr2200) are right about it settling. it looked pretty good. cant remember where i saw it, i did a search. for only 3-350ish and only a mild upgraded rate with drop is a good idea for us CR owners. coilovers are obviously ideal but i think with what we already have this will work great. my whole thought was NOT to change it to much but lower it alittle so i think this is what i will be getting. now for the big question, intake or springs next? already have full exhaust and flashpro.

Staying stock, in fact I just purchased the suspension off a 8k mile CR so I'm set for the future should the need arise.
