does anyone have the link to where i can find instructions on how to lower a s2000

normally i would just jump into the car and figure it out
but this is a $20k vehicle and we dont wanna mess anything up
so if u have the instructiosn please help me and my friends out

 

springs or coilovers??? it's pretty simple... same as any other car...

 

i just read the other thread. you're doing springs....

you need a spring compressor..... to take the stock spring out... other then that.. quite explanitory. if you've done it on another car... you can do it on this one.....

 

It's just like lowering a integ or civic. Might be a few differences but not enough to warrent hyper concern. Just take it easy and make sure you put everything back together right.
Oh I heard the fronts are a little tricky to get out cause of the A arms.

 

yeah it's the same.. yes... it's easier to remove the a arms.. otherwise it's a little hard to get the shocks out..... as for the rear... you'll need to remove the spare tire for the passenger side.... as for the drivers side.. you can remove the gas lines if you want easier access to the shocks... however if you do remove the gas lines and move them out of the way.. make sure you put a rag over the opening so nothing falls in..... and if you do this make sure you got good ventelization...... otherwise you'll be on the floor hahahahahah....

 

ight cool just wanted to make sure didnt want to take off the tires and see some complex shock assembly lol

thanks for the inputs guys looks like were gonna start right now ill post pics when im done

 

can't wait to see

 

just cut a few coils out of the spring that will give you your best ride, cause it uses the stock spring still....


becks

spring compressors are a waste of time

we just finished was so easy took us like 10 min per side including taking the tire off

was pretty straight forward we just took the bolts from the top hats then the lower bolt on the control arm

the the two bolts from the a arm then viola we were done YAY

but we didnt get to do the the rears cause he had to leave the spings used were espilier it took longer to drive to auto zone to get the spring compressors lol

were gonna do the rear tommorw all the pics will be up then tanks for the help

 

told ya it was easy

 

What kinda springs did you use? Like the ride and drop? pics?

 

You should invest in a shop manual for your car

 

it was lowered on espleier springs but the rear was hella werid cause of the gas tank thingy hella got in the way

 

i'm gonna do a write up on a coilover install soon. not sure if it will help but you can take a look
