Default Best lowering Springs for S2K....

Just bought an S2K, and I wanting to lower it. I don't want to use coilover and I was wondering what's the best springs for the S2K? I want a 2 inch drop, that'll be a nice drop IMO. Thanks.

Is there any spring that can lower 2 inches for the S2K? What is the drop on the Eibach?

Found the skunk2 springs, they lower about 2.5 inches. Anybody have experiences them on your car before? How are the ride, how are the springs?

We found that anything over 1", unless you have adjustable ride height, will actually make the car perform worse than stock.

The Eibach kit lowers the S 1" all around.
