I just picked up the June issue of Sport Compact Car today. There is a large section of S2000 coilover suspension testing. Many different brands; KW, J's, Spoon, Tein, OEM CR, Moton, Ohlins, JIC, Buddy Club, Stock ap1 and ap2.

Lot's of good info (in my opinion.)

The website is only showing videos right now. I couldn't find the article, But check out the issue at the store. If you are like me and are a relatively new S2000 owner you might just want this issue.

Yeah I have that issue, it is a great article and shows how good the CR really is IMO.

 

Yep, read the article, and the CR's performance was ASTOUNDING!

The CR was BETTER than ALL the other suspension manufacturer's setups (J's racing, Tein, Moton etc.) and was equaled by KW. The only setup that was better was the Spoon car, which was a full blown race car, and thus didn't apply.

I see CR suspension in my future

 

yeah I may have to pony up one day too...i wish we knew if 2008 is the last year for the s2000....

 

dont hate on the spoon one i liked that spoon car

 

How much of the CR results are from the X brace in the trunk area?

Will an AP1/2 car perform as well with just the shocks, springs, tires, and sways and front brace transplant?

Maybe Honda should think about selling an HFP kit with the rims, and bits for older non-CR cars?

 

That was a flawed article, you can't make any meaningful conclusions from it.

 

you can't draw any conclusions from the times they got, the cars were simply too far apart and there were too many different factors that were not addressed that would affect the outcome. its a nice review of what each suspension offers but i dont think its all that accurate. i will say this though, it was fun to read made me want more spoon stuff

 

this should be interesting for me to check out since i am a new s2 owner. i was actually looking into the different types of suspension so this should give me some insight on what's out there.
