RS-R 00 Honda S2000 Sports-i Coilovers

If you're looking to dial in the suspension on your 2000-2009 Honda S2000 for track days or spirited driving, the RS-R Sports-i coilovers are a solid option. These are designed to give you a lot of control over how your car handles, allowing you to fine-tune both the ride height and the damping characteristics to match your driving style and the conditions.

RS-R has built these Sports-i coilovers with performance in mind. They feature a monotube shock design, which generally offers better damping control and heat dissipation compared to twin-tube designs, especially under hard use. The spring rates are carefully selected to work with the S2000's chassis, aiming for a balance between sharp handling and a ride that's still manageable on the street. You can adjust the ride height independently of the spring preload, giving you the flexibility to set your desired stance and corner balance without compromising suspension travel. The damping adjustment is typically a 36-way system, offering a wide range of tuning possibilities to go from a comfortable street setting to a firm track setup.

When installing these coilovers, you'll be replacing your entire strut and spring assembly. It's a good idea to have an alignment done after installation to ensure everything is set up correctly for optimal handling and tire wear. While these are designed for a direct fit, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific torque values and procedures. The goal here is to give your S2000 a more responsive feel and a lower center of gravity, which can make a noticeable difference in how the car corners.
