Whats the best s2k suspension setup for the money.
I just bought a mint condition '01 s2k with 13k miles on it. When i purchase wheels i want to buy springs or a coilover setup. What are the best springs for the s2k as far as ride quality or handling? Best full coilovers for the money?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Street only. Realistically I only get a little spirited driving urge everyonce in a while. I never plan to autocross or anything like that.

Is about 50% for appearance, so ride quality is important, but an improvement of body roll or cornering would be great too.

spoon or kg/mm springs ride nicely. they are both the same. kg/mm makes springs for spoon.
if u want a nice STIFF setup, look at custom rates with ground control and koni yellows. some have gone the tein route.
since ur never going to autoX, all you need are a set of springs. heard eibach ones were pretty good too.

Well Hop Up Racing has them on backorder so I cancelled my order. Who else sells the Espelir springs with free shipping? Other than the S2Ki group buy.

no need to spend over 1k- you probably won't need adjustabliity either... just a nice set of Koni/Tokiko and some quality springs (not tein). That's it... nothing more is needed.
