has anyone try using s2k rear shock on their cars? it looks like a good fit for the lower controll arms, may have to change the upper mount?! spring maybe too long but you can always buy a lowering springs!

 

eh why? we already have rear shocks o.0

 

Uh...ya...for the price of a S2000 strut assembly I could probably throw in some Konis or something...Adleast stiff lowering springs on some new shocks.

Why bother?

 

S2Ks have that seperate resivior or something...not worth all the fab work mostlikely just get some Konis and GCs, bes suspension this side of $3K suspension and you can probably find a good deal from some sponsers on here

 

well what if you got some s2k shocks for free?!

well if you need to fabricate it to work it isn't free, just get them and resell them, use the cash to buy the correct ones for your car, do you really want to mess with your suspension and possibly make it bind or worse just unsafe...I mean there is something i wold fabricate but look at the possible safety risk

 

actually i asked this a while ago.

i was thinking about that extra reservoir, and just considering it would be interesting to see if it fits, and how it would perform.

well, the answer i got was that it does fit. i had someone check dimensions. the upper mount is the same.

however, i never got or installed it on a crx.

now that i DO have a s2000, and still have my crx, i COULD try, but im not all that eager and not until i ever get a replacement suspension so my stocks are available.

also, i think youd have to use some adjustable coilover spring kit. i cant imagine the stock springs would work, maybe.

 

thank you tyson!! finally someone know they are talking about

 

btw, for anyone else who doesnt get it, this is what the rear shock looks like off a s2000.




curious huh...

 

i dunno, they don't look THAT long

 

so what exactly does the res do, ive always wondered? (sorry to jack thread) i didnt know the s2k had those

the damper is very short, hell the car is very low and doesn't have much room

the remote res. keep all the juice the damper required in a seperate location because the shortened damper will not hold the full amount

oh yeah..the S has twin-loop muffler too, that's one for each side, stock.
