Rebuilding and Revalving S2000 Coilovers

Once you’ve installed the coilovers start adjusting the height of your car, you want to make sure you measure all four corners accurately to the same height.

To do so, we recommend measuring from the bottom of your rim to the bottom of your fender.  This removes most variables of uneven tire wear, air pressure, or human error in measuring from the center of your rim.  We dialed in our height to be 22 inches from rim to fender.

While we installed the upgraded coilovers onto the S2000, we decided to add a bit more rigidity with a few additional components including a GP Fabrication front strut bar and upgraded the front sway bar from an AP1.

The stock S2000 AP2 front sway bar measures 26.6mm while the AP1 is a bit beefier measuring 28.4mm.

  1. On second page bottom – where nut tightening is happening. Isn’t the tech supposed to be holding shocks piston rod ehile doing so? Not to damage valving.

    1. If you brace the shaft, you have a chance of scratching the shaft resulting in the shocks as good as blown because they will slash right through the seal

    1. You would need to reach out to your local suspension or shock specialist to see if they offer rebuild and revalve services. You can reach out to S3 Suspension and see if your shocks are rebuildable and if they can be shipped in for service.
