subscribed...those Ksports sound awesome, was leaning towards Megan streets.
i haven't heard anything good about the D2 coilovers, and hardly no one runs them on an S. Must be some reason for that.

I think you can adjust the megans too without messing with the springs or preload... ermmm.. yea I think so heh. I'll try to get the track when I get the money. Dude was right when he said espelirs are temp but I still have them and I love them. 1.5 is max drop for performance because it throws off the steering or something like that. I'll do a search later.

in case it's not clear, you adjust height of the bc racing coilovers without touching the springs or pre-load.
Height adjustment via bottom mount to retain full damper travel
And the UK site also mentions the BC coilovers are TUV certified. That's good for peace of mind to know they passed some stringent German quality standards.
The BC and Ksports seem pretty much identical except for the springrates.

I have the megan streets, and am very happy with their performance especially since I found a new pair for 700 from a friend. They are high adjustable without changing the pre-load on springs, but if you wish to you do have the option of adjusting the pre-load as-well. The 32 way adjustable compression is good, although I personally feel that if you go any higher than 15 it begins to feel like you are driving a Cadillac. After installing mine I took my car for a few laps and noticed that my rear end was more responsive to throttle input in tight corners, which is great if you plan on Auto-Xing. No matter what you go with make sure you get a good alignment and corn balance which will drastically improve you cars handling. If you're looking to keep improving performance I would recommend a front sway bar as-well to help tame the rear end.

Have u ever drove an s2000 with coilovers? Sounds like u have no idea what ur talking about! Springs are temporary for these cars, full coilovers on the softest setting will drive like a dream, eventually ur struts are gonna blow out, i been there, theres no point of doing it twice, do it right the first time ans save ur self time! Remember this isnt a civic!
