It would be a formidable track setup too when you crank the stiffness on up a bit.

I just love how much better the Konis are at damping compared to the OEM Tokicos. I guess you could say it's rather...

Shocking.

No other real plans at the moment. I need to get more seat time with the new suspension to figure out what else I might want. But most of my focus right now is on making sure the S2000 is ready to go. It needs tires and brakes.

I think I might go for swifts+konis over full coilovers becauase I'm not sure I need that much adj.

and everyone seems to rave about the konis

If you are happy with the drop the Swifts provide then that is a very solid setup. The Konis have enough adjustability to keep almost everyone happy.

I'll have an FI exhaust next week I think (Tony hasn't updated the list in 2 weeks) so I'm not sure how much I can drop safely. Plus im not looking for the "slammed" look. I just feel like too much wheel well is visible.

Chicagoland has some good roads and then some really terrible roads where the the middle part of the road is much higher than where wheels contact.

m4a1mustang · 03-15-2012, 09:48 AM

Tony changed the design on the FI so it sits up higher now, so you should be good to go on Swifts. Might want to wait 'til you get the exhaust on to be sure, though.

Thanks!

will stock rays looks weird if its dropped without spacers? I feel like they will look even more tucked in than now.

Yes it will accentuate the tuck. Spacers would be a good thing.

Check out my setup with spacers and Swifts.
I'm pretty sure I have the original FI design. I've only had it touch the ground once, and that was at full suspension compression over a hump, driving aggressively on a shi**y PA back road.
You shouldn't have any worries with Swifts if Tony has tucked the exhaust up higher on the revised system.

looking good and exhaust seems to have plent of clearance.

Im having a debate between 15mm all around or 15 F and 20 R.
