how much are you looking to drop it?

not much drop (relatively) and awesome ride: Tein CS(v1 or 2)

good drop, good ride: HKS hipermax or Megan Racing

slammage and good ride: JIC's, but ton of money.

lots of drop, slightly stiffer: Tein SS

lots of drop, stiff as hell: Tein Flex or HA

i'm sure i'm forgetting a couple but the guys will all chime in

will tein SS allow tucking?

muhbuhtuh

how stiff is stiff as hell to you? because i have the flex myself and they are not really stiff at all. if my parents and grandparents dont complain about the ride then its not stiff in my book. hell they even complimented on how smooth the ride was

stiff is definitely relative. I've ridden in all Tein products and none of the I would consider 'stiff'. Most people here came from OEM GS suspension which are SOFT. Anything more would be considered stiff. The Tein Flex is definitely stiffer than OEM, but it's not even what I call bone-jarring stiff. It's about the same as a stock AP2 S2000 to be honest.

However, stiffness and ride quality are not exactly proportional. Tein Flex at near OEM height rides better than when it's lowered all the way down. Spring rate is just one of the many variables.

I have a brand new set of BC-Racing Coilovers for the 2GS. Check out the specs.

if money is no object, Quantam, Aragosta, or KW would be my choices .

I just bought stance coilovers to replaces the air ride system that came with the car. google them and read up on STANCE. they can get the car low and the price is really good. They can actually lay out the GS just like it was on bags but the problem comes in when you cant get the car off the lift!
anyway heres a shot of my daily ride height on 20in fab profounds

Anyone else on stance coilovers?
