Default Stock S2000 suspension VS Koni/GC Integra

Im about to purchase a s2k sometime in january and havnt really driven one yet.
Planning on going to do so sometime this winter break when i have some time.

I currently drive a 94 dc2 with koniyellow/GC coilover setup.
do any of yall have any comparisons on as how the two setups will differ
as far as ride quality, stiffness,ect ect.

overall...are the 2 comparable or completely different.

you have to look at it this way...

s2000 is 50/50 weight distribution and RWD...

integra is FWD and ?/? weight distribution...

plus the s200 is smaller, and more agile...

you really need to drive one, and then figure out how you want to mod the suspension. the s2000 suspension stock is very, very good. some say you can ruin an s2000 by changing the suspension...

ive never driven one....just starting now too look into the s2k market during this winter break. i was just trying to get some idea before i have time to go out and test drive one. i understand the weight balance and rwd/fwd issue...i was just wondering that since the koniyellow/gc setup was 'proven' to be really good..i just wanted to see how it was reletive to stock s2k

After you drive one, you will quickly realize how much different it is. We can't really tell you. You'd have to see for yourself.

Put it this way. Your DC2 with the suspension work and a STOCK S2000 is no comparison. The S2G will outhandle most cars with suspension mods in stock form.

I recenetly got a chance to test drive the '06 s2k. Words can not describe how this car drives. It was amazing. I might sell my integra to join the ranks of the s2k owners. Go test drive one, and you'll fall in love.

If you think a GSR handled well, consider that test drive as "getting your cherry popped".
