I've said this many times...springs should be matched to dampers.

Tired dampers + new springs = likelihood of failing damper(s).

but you need to get out more
PMSL says the man with 16,000 posts . You must live on here!



Do you ever drive your S2k with all your posting
I've been on here longer than you, you clown.

I'm surprised you drive yours with all the drivel/shite you constantly post lol.

I also offer people support and advise and contribute to the community unlike you

Now where did that ignore/shite button go

In the six years I have been here, this is the single worst thread I have ever witnessed.

Please please please can it be locked - it's a discredit to the board.

What did you go for?
The Meisters from Dixon. Going to get the bushes replaced at the same time.

You won't regret it

wow, what a thread! To add my 2 cents, I think the S2000 has a great suspension! Can it be improved? Most definitely! If the AP1 suspension was as good as it can get, surely they would have put it back onto the S2000 CR. One thing to note, that was briefly touched on earlier, is that tires do make a difference as well; my friend with a CR just got new tires yesterday and I noticed a subtle difference in the way it drove immediately, this is just everyday driving without taking the car to it's limits.

Anyhoo, for anyone interested here's a past article (from 2010) on suspensions originally from Sport Compact Car. http://blog.kw-suspension.com/wp-con...k-shootout.pdf

I feel duty bound to apologise on behalf my UK bretheren for this thread And you thought the Yanks were crazy. Please do visit again!

BTW Simon, my suspension feels a lot better now. I had a good play this weekend with the settings and the road use settings appear to be much better.
