Im wanting to upgrade my shocks/springs and bushings for my AP1.

Are their currently any companies making bushing kits? I have seen some powerflex bushes in the UK for about £235 GBP

The suspension I had my eyes on was the D2 stuff, can anyone comment on them?

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

 

Mugen and Spoon both offer Hard Bushing sets.

 

Spoon...expect to pay mucho $$$

 

Don't put D2s on a s2000, they arent good.

My friend bent his road racing, and I am on my 2nd set of dampers in 10 000 km on a 240sx, the dampening is also terrible.

 

agreed on the D2's look elsewhere..

buddy club
megan race

 

Check out Zeal, Racing Logic, and Stance also for full coilovers. Mugen and Spoon for bushings.

 

bang came with the big guns,.. those are teh pricey ones!

 

Thanks for the replies

I was hoping energy suspension would make an affordable bushing kit. There is a company in the UK called power flex that make a slightly more affordable kit at just under $400. Does anyone know the prices of the spoon or mugen? Ive just found an RSR bushing kit for $219. Its meant for D1 but should benefit for other applications, i.e. street and track.

I was looking at the Buddy Club N+ Spec Dampers for my s2000, are these suitable or should I think about Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper. I'd like to keep the suspension around $1000 if possible

 

The N+ is a great damper for the price. Both of the Buddy Clubs click also.

BTW, with Stance and Racing Logic, you can choose any spring rate you'd like.

Not sure if polyurethane bushings are a good idea for an S2000. the mugen/spoon ones are hard rubber. They allow some amount of movement. The polyurethane may not allow proper suspension geometry or deflection under compression. Use the N+ damper. the racing damper's spring rates are a little too crazy for most street applications IMO.

I would just make sure to preload and clock your stock bushings when you lower the car to make sure they dont tear or prematurely wear out. The stock bushings on that car are pretty nice.
