/\ I agree

My H&R coilover were allot more compliant at low speeds vs OEM.

You had a set of these Ron?

IMO coilovers would be the only option.

I've got Ohlins on mine, they're fantastic and very comfortable. I'm at TGM on the 19th of September (may be the 12th, need to double check). You're welcome for a look around and passenger ride (time depending).

Firstly, thank you all for the replies so far.

Tom's suggestion of Eibachs was based on their Pro kit, as the springs are progressive. Looking at their springs on line it appears that some of the springs are progressive, but some appear to be linear. Which leads me to an obvious question - do Eibach make both types of spring for the S2000?

I'll work out what I'm doing over the next few weeks, and see if I can take up one of the offers of a passenger ride. Many thanks to those who have offered.

Firstly the progressive springs:

Whereas these appear to be linear, although the description states that they are progressive:

What I'm looking for are the progressive springs, so that the spring rate increases with compression - the theory being that at low speed the springs are more compliant.

I have the ones in your first link. Like i say if you can wait a couple of weeks it's no problem to take you for a spin if you can meet at TGM. It's worth noting that I am running eagle F1's which according to some on the tyre thread have soft sidewalls which make the ride comfier. By the 19th I'll be on continentals which are also soft apparently.

Those are both the same part number E4043-140
They are progressive and are the ones I fitted
