If you don't roll and relocate the bumper tab, you will either have to run a ton of non-functional camber, or let the tire do the rolling and relocating for you lol. Once you get to the ride height you want, make a post asking to borrow someone's wheels for a test fitment so you can see. Hopefully the current S owners are as friendly as they used to be and will help you out.

Oh yah, I couldn't believe how cheap it was listed for. Has a few issues, but nothing a little time/money won't fix.


Boost + top-down is epic fun tho, i love it.


edit:

gonna be a nice come-up when I re-list it in a few months

Probably going stick with pps9 system since the spring rates are still lower than the Koni/Ground Control setup.

I love the way my ground controls ride. Put the konis about 1/2 stiffness, and it rides better than stock. The only set of PSS9's I have ever rode on were pretty soft. I dont like the little "helper" spring on them. It just doesn't seem normal.

Either way, its your money. Buy what you like.

Or, make a trip to 757, come to one of our S2000 meets, and ride in around 20 or so S2000s with different suspension setups.
A few have the same, so maybe 10-15 different brands.
