Thanks for all your advice.

You would pick some Buddy Club over something like KW Variant 3s?

 

With a car as well set up from the factory as the S2k, you should really get a matched set of springs and shocks. The combination of a spring and shock works as a simple control system. The spring is (ironically) actually the part that absorbs the shock from hitting a bump, and the "shock absorber" (should really be referred to as a dampener) dampens oscillations in the spring. If your spring is shorter and/or stiffer than the shock is intended to be used with, the system becomes underdamped the the shock will no longer do a good job of absorbing oscillations. You'll get a very rough, jarring ride that's quite bouncy, and the system as a whole will be less stable.

I would recommend you either get a matched set of springs/shocks (coilovers) or stay with the OEM setup.

 

Biggest thing for me and coilovers is not know how/when to adjust them. I have some KW Variant 2s on my Civic and I haven't touched the settings since they were installed (about 4 months ago).

 

Not sure if someone said this yet, but changing springs takes you out of A-Stock... You can change your shocks though

Youll be much happy with some coilovers... V3!

 

Yes, I realize that now, and that is the last thing I want to do. I want to stay in AS for as long as possible.
