why do u need teins. why would u want to lower ur car that much? it will only bottom out ur shocks and give you a shitty *** ride. lower does NOT mean a better ride. coilovers are coilovers..they are really adjustable springs. they can set how much u lower or raise ur car to a certain extent. so, you can slam ur car with any set of coilovers or just cut the oem springs if u want to slam ur car and bottom out ur shocks. have fun pay for replacements shocks. the sad thing is, my 2800+ pound 4th gen prelude will have better handling than ur slammed s2k, but its ur car. do as u wish.

i jus wish to see pics of s2000 lowered on these coilovers to see how nice it would look. Im well aware that i can buy springs and lower the car, when i say lowered i dont mean scraping everywher....jus low to fill up the guards and diminish the gap.

does anyone have pics? im sure some of you guys r using these teins?

not to sound like an ***, but an s2k will look the same slammed on Tein RA's as any other coilovers or springs.....

I'm with everyone else, I wouldn't "slam" it. Also the car would look the same no matter what coilovers are on it.

However so you can see, here is my S2K. It is equiped with Tein RA's and they are set to the recommended height (as defined in the instructions included with them when I installed them). I haven't found a need to adjust it yet, as I haven't begun to fine tune the suspension yet.

that looks good PornStarRacingB16T. how much thread was left on the coilover after you lowered it to that height? Btw what rim size is that? 17"?

i understand that some of you here may not agree to lower the car heaps as many of you are track or performance orientated, but its also nice to lower it abit more just to get rid of the ugly wheel gap...

Eeeesh. I don't remember and I can't find the instructions. I actually have to take my wheels off to get some Advans mounted this weekend so I'll try to remember to take a look at what the recommended setting was.

Oh and yeah those are 17" rims.
