For the s2000 I wouldnt recamaned springs on stock struts, but to each his own.

If I was in the market for springs I would look into SWIFT, although they probably make the product for Tanabe. Also look into Espelier.

I don't know how they are for the S2000, but I used the GF210's on my old Integra and mated them up with KYB AGX shocks. On that car they were awesome for me.

If the ride / handling is comparible to the S2k springs, then, I would consider them for myself and find good shocks to go with them. Maybe some Koni's.

Her or the car?

If you say that quickly it sounds like you are referring to a part of the anatomy.
