Which Shocks For Handling??

Depends on all the other things you are looking for out of the car.

What are your objectives with the handling of the car?

want a good carver but not going to SCCA the thing, would like to surprise my friend with an S2000

What type of ride quality are you looking out of it?

How often do you drive it; like every day back and forth to work?


well it sounds like my dad will be driving it daily once we get some stuff back up to snuff on it... its his so he would like moderate good ride, not jarring but feel like its attacking the corner and not layin over


IF you were going to buy stuff for the car, I'm getting the vibe of:

.99" or 1.03" whatever is the current on sale special
Bilsteins (after or with, when you get the bigger T-bars)
Then try an adjustable rear sway bar
Offset rubber UCA bushing for 3-5 postive caster
Rubber LCA bushings

Then better Z rated 50 or 45 series tires. Will have to be bigger than 15" rim because they don't make Z rates 15" tires anymore that are a tire width appropiate to your car that are easy to buy.

he isn't a fan of rubber band tires so the side wall is his call, and really i dont care for the thin tire look either, but we are going to 16x7 rims

I think the back is going to be a little high even with the 003 SS springs. But run then and see. Then lower the front spring hanger as neccesary. Then check and adjust pinion angle.

was already planning on lowering the front hanger, i know better than to block the springs lol...

But it seems you current budget is $100 or so... And the car's current shocks are no good?... So get KYB's.

to be honest i cant remember if i changed them in the year i drove it or not... but im sure they could use help either way...
