Default Which Springs Are Best for s2k

Hey Guys. i recently just purchased my s2k and am thinking of dropping it 1.3-1.5 inches. i was on ebay and saw some cheap springs for 65 dollars and then i see some teins for 170. The question i am asking is whether or not itll make a difference which brand i go with since they are doing the same function? thanks

honestly just looking on ebay for springs, and you look at 65$ springs to put on a s2000... just leave it stock. You will destroy the value, and performance of the s2000 by turning it into a civic.

just sayin bro, if 65$ springs makes you wonder... you prob can't afford to do this hobby right, maybe try legos, or woodworking, collecting stamps, etc...

$65 springs aren't worth the effort to install, spend the $65 on beer and pizza instead. I went with Eibach Pro-Kits, no worries after five years and 40,000 miles.

. You would have asked, whats a good setup for a reasonable price, or actually gave us a price range to recommend a set.

Im surprised you didnt just ask about Cutting the springs.

You are going to be out a hell of a lot more money when your 65$ spring cracks and sends you off the road.

The s2000 is one of the finest cars Honda has ever made, and came off the lot for over 30 grand, and you want to put 65$ springs on it? For **** sake do it some justice.


If you want your shocks to last I suggest Eibach pro kit, If you want to dump the **** outta it and blow them shortly there after but look fly doing so grab some skunk 2's
