I started racing my S2000 two years ago. At the time, there were no off
the shelf shocks (Koni, etc) for the car.
As a result, I had to buy Penske shocks and have Guy Ankeny custom
manufacture the mounting forks (they are really nice CNC'd parts). The
Penske's were $3000 for the set of four. They are very nice, double
adjustable, external reservoir shocks which also helped dial in the car.
If you have a 2-5-10-20 year old car, then cheaper shocks are
available. If it's a brand new model, you buy high $$ shocks or you are SOL.
