[bluesky4me]

Just wondering if any S2 onwers had upgraded to coil overs . If so what brand and with what results...I am starting to feel like my S2 is not "planted" enough .

Try the Group Buy, plenty of guys are very happy with it.

I'm running tein HR's up front,and tanabe sustec pros in the rear of my S2. the car has a mix in it,as I bought bits second hand from various forums,but it works a hell of a lot better than stock.

the spring rates are a bit high,I'm going to take them down from the 8kg/mm they are atm to about 6kg/mm to reduce the low speed crashing I get over bumps.

the height adjustment alone was worth the $650 the setup cost me.

I have a set of Tein Wagons which are specificly for the Stagea, unlike using skyline ones with usually high spring rates and too stiff. I had 3 different sets in my R33 before I found a good set.

They are 4kg front and 4kg rear, which is pretty similar to most upgraded springs you can buy off the shelf from Whiteline and Kings springs

Have not fitted them yet, so I cannot say how they feel

As Sydneykid has said before, there is more to the suspension than the spring rates. The shock's do most the work and thats why he prefers the Bilstens over most the other "Jap" brand coilovers.

However, the Teins coilovers were brand new and only cost me approx $750 delivered from JP off yahoo auctions, so at half price to the others options available, I thought I would try them.

Thanks Chaps...I know exactly how I want the car to feel so I want to do a lot of research because I think getting the right set up can be very difficult to attain...To me my S2 although not bad.. is hard on bumps at low speed yet seems too soft when I drive harder.
