Aww. Thanks BB.

I'd be eager to try some PSS9s / Ohlins / KWV3s, but I simply don't have that kind of money to shell out.
lol, this is a thing now?

I'm a fan of the AP2 suspension. I understand that it's not moar low but compared to my daily driver, it feels like my ass is scraping on the ground the whole time anyway.

Also I'm old and far less graceful getting out of the car now.

The stock AP2 suspension isn't bad. But Bilsteins do smooth out the ride AND reduce body roll. The Bilstein damper profile is more of a curve than the stock suspension's linear plot. Its an improvement on both ends to a pretty impressive stock suspension.

The only thing that would prevent me from using Bilsteins (maybe) would be if I were driving my S2000 on salty roads. The germans seem to be obsessed with zinc plating their coilovers. Y UNO POWDERCOAT?!!

If my car needed a new suspension, I'd likely go aftermarket. I can't justify spending $1500 to lower the car an inch. All about dem priorties meng.

Buy a used setup then, I suppose. In relative terms, $1500 is cheap for an entire suspension for this car.

But...the PSS and H&R is about $1k. If that's too much...perhaps leave it stock or buy eibach prokit springs for your stock shocks.

Exactly, keeping it stock unless there's a need to replace. At which point I'll do Eibachs. I had those on my BMW and liked them a lot.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

I've thought about just getting a set of springs but I'm not sure how well the 11 year-old shocks would do with them

Thanks bruh, the whiteness is mostly the IG Filter

And much appreciated man, she's certainly different than any other girl I've ever met in the best of ways. That's why I'm going to propose soon

Not only that, she supports my stiffy for cars.

Do it right the first time. I've been debating springs vs coils for my Infiniti and ultimately went with coilovers.

I'll hit you up, it might be tough though since I'll be there for work in our Tijuana facility (staying at the Holiday Inn bayside if you know where that is in relation to you) so I'm not sure of evening hours but if free, definitely down for a beer or ten.

Isn't your car pretty much OEM now? The only difference between yours and mine is the white pricks and about 110k miles.

Damn it, SamDoe gave me the giggles now. Damn this thread.

Beer sounds good to me, I know some some great spots nearby that we can hit up. PS, I ain't fallin' for the TJ trick again.

Shmeh, my S has light mods:

AEM V1
Comptech Exhaust
Eibach Front Sway
Hankook RS3v2s on RPF1s
Lighter AP1 flywheel
TB Spacer
Leather seat covers

Either way, I think you'll enjoy a little more grumble and a little more BWAHHHH.

Iono man, I saw SamDoe's offroading videos with the Jeep. I hope he doesn't do the same thing with my S

I don't do ANY offroading cause it scares the bajesus out of me.

What TJ trick?

I'd love some more grumble and BWAHH, it's what I want to do with my car. Going to get the UK mod done. Though the seat covers in yours definitely throw it over the top (I also want to see them in person since I want to order some for my car...)

Besides, mine is hardly OEM anymore.

off roading is a fvcking blast and takes a lot of balls even though the vehicle you're driving is more than capable. It's a different feeling when all you see out the windshield is sky and the entirety of your weight is on the seat back and not the seat bottom... I'll be taking the Jeep here in September, super excited:
