Fongu has them, I drove his car at Auto-X before and after he put them on. His was the only stock S2k I had actually driven and I found it was a little lose compared to my car with KG/MM's but the KW's solved that problem.

The KG/MMs are a little stiff the KW's seemed more compliant.

They're on my car. James drove my car for a few autocross runs.

I like them. They are a good track/street car setup. If you want pure track performance you would probably want to step up to the $5k coilovers. Stiffer springs, less roll, but the damping makes it feel almost as comfortable as stock. Good travel on the suspension, makes it good over bumps. There is better feel in the transitions, you can really feel the tires loading up in turns. Quicker turn-in and there is more fiddle room for controlling the oversteer. I haven't spent a lot of time spinning the adjustments, but the adjustments do change the ride. It's a pain to adjust the compression though, since it is at the bottom of the shock.

I've got rear anti-bumpsteer control arms, a bigger front swaybar and modified wheel alignment. Not sure the "improvement" from stock, but it is definitely better.

What suspension do you guys use? cause I am thinking to lower my ride but don't know too much about S2K can someone give me some opinion.
Thanks
Unless you plan on tracking/autoxing your car a lot....aftermarket suspension is a waste of $.

The stock suspension is very good.
