Honda know so much that they changed the suspension in 2001, again in 2004, in 2007 and I think in 2009 too.

Any person fitting coilovers to an S2K purely for road driving is such a ponce. The stock suspension set up correctly is a dream for the road. But hey its your money. You guys obviously know more than Honda and the Gan San as you are far better drivers

On meister r coilovers also. I can vouch for the quality, worth every penny. Car is by far better to drive with less roll yet no compromise on ride quality due to a good balance of damping and spring rates.

FWIW I sort of agree with tailhappy.
I was more than happy with my MY02 setup for both road and the odd trackday but was persuaded to get some coilovers as as guinea-pig and got a good deal on them. Add to that my OEM set had 90k miles on them, so they were a little tired.
However, I was never able to get them to work to my satisfaction and picked up a set of Bilstein PSS9s on here for roughly half what a new set of OEM would have cost.
They are excellent for the road, lovely and comfortable and while they can be stiffened up for the track, they don't really go stiff enough if for a serious track-dayer/competitor.
Whilst they have 9-step adjustment, I have a road setup (6 clicks from fully stiff all round) and a track setup (fully stiff all round).
I also had the ride height set up to the minimum recommended drop.
If I were going for replacement coilovers, I'd seriously consider the non-adjustable Bilstein PSS as a replacement. They are one of very few to have external reservoirs on the rears (just like OEM). They cost around £900.
However, the OEM setup is very, very good for road use, so unless your car has a lot of miles on, then I'd recommend sticking with it.

So sorry mate but the last comment makes you look like a right noob,
As of now I will completely ignore any comments from you, as you clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
