standard suspension, opinions please
I dont know about you guys but im personally fed up with the state of the roads and want a bit more comfort.
Ive a 25 mm lowering spax sport kit on my s2 and i find its to low and a bit unforgiving should the stealth pot holes catch you out. so was thinking of sourcing some standard springs and shocks as i have never had the standard set up im un aware of what its like
whats your opinions on this
Cheers Kev

recently raised mine up only from 40 to 30 drop but drives much nicer as i used new shocks and think the old ones were probably shot.standard ride hight on 17s looks like tractor imo

would i be able to put standard spings on my 25mm drop spax? wont that just compress the spring more once on the shock?
Also does anyone know where you can get the standard set up where you wont get your pants down?

i have koni adjustables and lowered a touch, on the softest setting its a nice comfy ride! not much difference from my 04 civic type-r in all honesty. Nice to wind them in when you need to also

the springs i had from a standard suspension of another turbo, it sits about 10mm to high for my liking on back but front looks fine, i'll see if i can get some photo's of it for you but apart from coilovers it's the best ride i've found for a road turbo so far and i've tried a few combinations

ive got some standard excellent condition springs that i took off my s2 and replaced with 40mm springs,car has only done 42k miles so plenty of life left in them.but it still sits too high.so im gonna have to buy ome 60mm ones.rather have looks than handling.

My last S2 was a standard low miler (60k) which was on the original springs and a set of aftermarket monroe gas dampers and it rode really well. Comfy as a S2 can be, it even suited the car being at the right height.
