Bilstein B14 Performance Suspension System for Honda S2000

Bilstein B14 Performance Suspension System (B14 PSS) is a complete height adjustable kit for the Honda S2000 that replaces your factory springs and dampers with matched Bilstein coil springs and Bilstein gas pressure monotube dampers. On an S2000, that means you control wheel motion and ride height as a package, front and rear, without mixing random springs with tired OEM shocks and hoping it works out.

The stock car gives you zero built in ride height adjustment. If you want to change stance or fix wheel and tire fitment, you usually end up with fixed lowering springs on OEM dampers or you jump to a full Honda S2000 coilover system with adjustable damping. The Honda S2000 B14 suspension kit sits right in the middle on purpose. You get a defined lowering window and Bilstein matched valving, but you do not get clickers to chase your tail with at every event.

Here is what you actually adjust. This S2000 B14 ride height kit adds threaded height adjustment at both axles. You set height with the threaded spring perch and the lock hardware on the damper body. Damping adjustment is not part of the Bilstein B14 coilover S2000 design, so the damper behavior stays fixed, tuned by Bilstein for this specific application. If you want to set it and drive it, this is the point.

People buy the Bilstein suspension kit S2000 when they want a street focused setup they can dial for fitment, corner balance, or just getting the rake right, but they do not want to mess with damping knobs. We run this style of fixed valving Bilstein S2000 performance upgrade on our own cars because it keeps the tuning variables simple, then you spend your time driving instead of guessing. Think of it as an adjustable suspension S2000 for height, not for damping.

Installation and setup considerations:

• Alignment: any drop changes static camber and toe, so set your final height first, then get a real alignment. Do not eyeball it and hope your tires forgive you.
• Adjustment access: you adjust the perches mechanically, lock them down, then re check ride height on the ground. Plan on a couple rounds to nail it.
• Damping tuning limitation: there is no external damping adjuster. You can tune with ride height, alignment, tire pressure, and sway bars, but you cannot click the dampers stiffer for track day and softer for the commute.

If you want a performance suspension S2000 Bilstein setup that keeps the car sharp, controls body motion, and gives you a sane lowering range, the Honda S2000 Bilstein kit checks the boxes. It is a road-tested S2000 suspension approach that prioritizes consistency. The matched Bilstein coil springs S2000, including the Bilstein aluminum spring S2000 hardware in the kit, keep the whole package working together instead of fighting each other like some mix and match setups do.
