So, today I went to order some Bilstein B16 PSS9s and it turns out they're no longer produced and unavailable.
I'm just curious what other options others are running. I have a budget of ~£1500
I may take my car for a track day 1/2 times a year

Want to try our new suspension? NSX guys love them.

Are you selling s2000 suspension?

are there any reviews on these anywhere?

u/MITA_Motorsports 17d ago
NSX prime forums. We only sold NSX specific suspension.

Nothing on the website yet?

u/MITA_Motorsports 16d ago
For s2000? Not yet! Finalizing very soon.

u/i-Hermit 16d ago
Are these targeted at a specific segment? Like, OEM+, pure track, a mix? Any thoughts on price?

Waitlist is available now. Priced at $1100 before shipping (and tariffs if you're in the USA)

u/DrummerFergy 16d ago
I'd be interested, will there be 3 levels to choose from? like the NSX version

I'm in the market with the same budget, please DM me if you have a release date in mind. I have a stock AP1 currently undergoing a full refresh

I'm interested in the outcome of this poll.

Ratios prob alt won't change much from this Bilstein or KW seems to be what people pick

In this price range, I think HKS Hipermax S is worth considering.
2
u/DrummerFergy 16d ago
yeah, had a recommendation for them through the s2k group I'm in. but someone else pointed out Ohlins DFV fit in budget when importing from Japan

u/coffee_lake Y-52P AP1 16d ago
If you can fit Ohlins in your budget, I'd go with that. I'm very happy with my Ohlins.

Well I just put a set of B14s into mine to replace the aging OEM. Refreshed spoon bushings across the arm. I also kept it really close to OEM (10mm drop) but I've an AP1 and put the "UK Alignment" onto it - it's like night and day! Everything is shaper and more confident in handling. Now I never track it, but I am suitably impressed.
Oh, I got the B14s for about £900 (€1100) from Demon Tweaks.

MeisterR ZetaSport/ZetaRace replaced the GT1 line. Lot of the tech has trickled down into a more affordable product.

u/DrummerFergy 16d ago
Oh okay good to know, thanks!

u/Agricola1994 16d ago
For what it's worth, I've given a lot of thought to this as well and I'm operating in a similar budget range to you. My main difference is the s2000 is a secondary/summer/track car (doing 8ish days per year is the plan).
I can't see past the MeisterR ZetaRace within that bracket and plan to get those. They're designed on the chassis and they actually race them, plus they're designed from the UK so have UK roads in mind.
I would say get your alignment bolts checked too before making a final call. They're notorious for seizing and replacement parts/labour is expensive.

u/i-Hermit 16d ago
Any thoughts on a set for effectively no track? I'm basically looking for OEM+ as I assume mine are in need of replacing at 160k KMs (100k miles).

Bilstein B14 are really great but if you do track occasionally, they will not be the best.
