everyone is just going to tell you what they like.

I dont like the way invidia looks or sounds, and I think Megan is cheap. My vote goes to custom since thats the last remaining choice.

Exterior wise all an s2000 really needs is a drop, front lip and a hardtop.

Very true..... i would keep the stock ap1 rims but they have alot of rash on them... i dont know if there is a place where i can have them refinished. I was also thinking about just getting some tein s techs... but what do you think? I know it gives it a little bit of a drop. Im just worried about having to get spacers for the axles

save your money on the drop springs. personally i wouldn't get them because of the non adjustability and your shocks will most likely wear out faster. if you want a sort of cheaper solution to that, ground control + koni yellow combo.

What color is your car?

I would just coilovers and avoid the s-techs. As for the axle spacers, they are not needed. They are just for piece of mind.

sock spring rates are around 4-5k I believe. Im not sure what the s-techs are at. They will probably be a little stiffer over stock, but nothing drastic.
