I desperatly want to lower my car, but i want to make sure it will help the car, not hurt it. I saw a couple threads on here stating that "lowering will make all S2000s handle worse because it throws off the toe" or something to that effect. I believe this was based off the lowering of an early Comptech car that was not done right. I was planning on some Bilstein pss9s. Let me hear you guys.

 

bump

 

alignment will fix that, but if u want it to handle good or better, ur gonna need tein flexes, or any coilover set up, i dont think springs are gonna do a better job, the only reason i went with just springs is because i dont drive that car hard around turns, so i wouldnt get full use out of a 1300 dollar suspension.

I would not replace the stock suspension with "any coilover set up." Tein Flexes or any budget coilover suit aesthetics over performance.

Depending on your available grip (tire choice) I would not lower the car beyond 1.5".

As far as I know, there's no toe issues when you lower the car if you get an alignment with the proper specifications. This car has some bump steer characteristics but that can be tuned out.

 

I just installed the KW V3's on my car. It handles great imo...but it takes a lot of playing with the damping and rebound adjustments to get it to the level that you like. I would recommend the KW V3's for an S2K owner...great coilvoer considering what you pay. Look into them.

It's simple, a good coilover setup with an aligment and you'll be fine.

tein flew isnt going to do anything but lower the car.

 

Man, i dont know what sort of Tein flex kit u get where ure from, but my kit made a huge difference from stock. Turn in is 100 times better, the rear is a hell of a lot more stable, it handles better in the wet and my track times significantly increased. I agree there not as expensive as Zeal or Bilstien and are seen as an average coilover, but for a daily driver thats tracked every so often, i wouldnt go past them especailly bang for buck.

Mine were great for the first 6 months, after that they became junk. Alot of people will agree with this.

 

No toe issues for me and i'm pretty slammed
