Ok, can you guys recommend a good set of coilovers? I want to lower the car over stock size wheels and tires, nothing extreme, just enough to loose the gap between the tire and fender. But I don't want to loose any of the S2000's handling qualities! I want to lower the car while at the same time improve handling with as close to factory ride comfort as possible. What brand and how much is it going to cost me? Also, will I have to buy camber adjustment plates if I lower the car with coilovers? Finally, how much will it cost to have installed, aligned, and corner balanced and where can I have it done? What else will I need to do it right? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure I don't wind up buying something inferior to the factory components and actually decrease the S2000's handling performance.

 

Billstein PSS,around $1200.00

 

I hear the bilstein pss9 is pretty good...and for all your other question hopefully others will chime in....

 

ha at the same time....see great mind think alike

 

Are they as quite as stock? I have been reading over all the "Coilover" threads that I can find and it seems a common problem with coilovers is that they are noisy. I want it to be as good and quite as stock, hopefully better handling than stock but again, I don't want them to be noisy. I think that if they are squeaking and rattling it would make the car seem cheesy! Also, where can I buy/order the Billstein PSS from? Are they a better coilover than stock? Will I have caster/camber problems?

 

shox.com has the pss9 for 1299 shipped or something like that, pretty dam cheap considering theres people here selling them for 1500. Also the car comes from the factory with camber kit so as long as you don't drop all the way to the ground or something like that you'll be fine....also for better handling see if you can with the UK alignment specs as I hear people are enjoying that setup....also about that alignment spec do a search if you're looking for more information.....

 

I've done a search for coilovers, and everything I have read just gives me more questions and concerns. Sounds like aftermarket coilovers are noisy and I don't want that. Seams like when you start changing suspension parts on theses cars, you wind up just creating new problems, problems that you wouldn't have had if you just left it alone. If I can't get an aftermarket set of coilovers that aren't noisy, and that don't effect camber and tire ware then I guess I will leave the suspension stock. I don't want to improve one aspect of the car, only to create a problem with another aspect of the car. Why should we have to sacrifice one thing to get another? I don't want to trade ride quality and quite operation for a lower stance and handling. I want it to have good ride quality, quite operation, lower stance and better handling than stock, as if Honda had done it that way from the factory. Is it possible? Thanks.

 

 

Ok, I looked at the Bilstein pss9 and they seem to be of a pretty high quality. Just a few more question from anyone who has them.

1. Are the Bilstien
