I'm on Megan Coils with Swift springs, and I love it, but I feel myself drifting towards the function side. Either air ride or coils with a little wheel gap I think would make me much happier since I would be able to fully enjoy the car. Your advice was almost exactly the same as my friend Corey (guy who's making me want my s2k/function life) lol. He told me to enjoy it stock for a while to truly understand it and see how unforgiving it can be. We'll see, fingers crossed! Hopefully I find a black or red 04
06+ do make the most power on a dyno even though everyone will say they don't... and any AP1 will be the most fun to drive and most raw.
Whatever you get will be a blast and just hope the first time you spin around it's somewhere safe. If you drive hard it's going to happen sooner or later and then if you learn won't happen again or so you hope.
If you want performance stay away from the bags on the S2K and get a good set of ohlin's/nitrons/jrz etc etc coilovers. KW3 and PSS9s are also good if you aren't in the mindset of 5-7K on one piece of the suspension puzzle
Best of luck on the hunt!

So something amazing happened!
Here's some pics but it lives! Can't get to high cam profile right now *no vtec for 930 more miles but all good!
Build pics will probably be at an even lower all time lately as the cars back on the road and I just bought a motorcycle so I'm spending all my time riding/driving lately.
All that's left now is the canards and side splitters. Probably going to start ordering up more suspension bits now (roll center adjusters, control arms and sway bars along with some safety and aero).

Bit of an update since it's only gotten to stretch it's legs 150 miles after the motor break in was done...
Car hit the dyno and after the 9:1 compression change we hit 380/250 at the wheels however there is speculation the dyno wasn't reading correctly but still sitting AT LEAST 100WHP away from the target 500WHP goal.
Good news is the full Ti rebuilt head looks to be stable to 11K YUP 11,000 RPMs. Guess the handle punchit8k needs to change -_-
After the dyno we ran into some overheating issues that are EXTREMELY weird. Take the car out for a beat run no problem car holds nice and cold. Park it and on the next startup it will overheat. Burp the cooling system and it runs fine again.
Replace radiator with a koyo radiator, new cap, lines. Still doing the same thing. What we found was one of the coolant lines under 30psi had a SMALL SMALL leak. Now the coolant system will never hit 30psi BUT the theory is that on cool down the car was sucking in a small bit of air and these damn cars are temperamental. Anyways won't know if it's fixed 100% until the spring.
Here are some videos/photos of updates:
11K RPM dyno pull, we backed down to 9500 RPM redline due to the supercharger overspinning. Won't be an issue down the road
Strapped down:
Js racing Dry carbon canards installed with nutserts yea I know the whole car needs to be painted when it's done...
RX7 Side splitters installed finally:
In the spring we're looking at Intake manifold (matched 74mm TB), 3" exhaust, larger intake and possibly changing up some of the body panels.
