Like the title says i have friend that is trying to decide what the best drop kit is for his S2000. We are looking at him getting the Eibach springs but we just wanted some other input on what is being ran. thanks!

 

I am running Comptech coilovers with koni shocks and I am at a 2.5 inch drop with bodykit and the car rides like stock height.

 

i'm running the same set up as spoons2000 is. it rides really nice and its not bouncy. but that depends on how much more you lower it.

 

how much were the comptech coilovers? which konis are you using, and do you ever have a problem with you scraping?

Sorry i guess i should have asked that to begin with but ohwell.

 

Right now I have the adjustable shocks(yellows). I have no problems with scrapping. The only problem I run into is slight rubbing in the front with the Spoon wheels. Here is a picture when I was on the freeway. You can get some kinda idea of the drop you can get with them..They go for $699 on http://www.comptechusa.com and you can get the shocks there too for $800.

holy shiaaaaaaaaaaaaaat your low!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice!

 

If you want springs , KGM will be your best bet. If you want coil-over suspension, there are Buddyclub , Spoon , ZEAL , Tein.....etc.

Spoon Awesome ride and handling.

 

H&R coilovers. very nice road manners and predictable track characteristics.

 

I am using Buddy Club coilover, the ride is so good!!!

Bump.

I am looking into Tanabe springs. 1.5 inch drop. Would these blow my shocks? And how is the handling and ride quality on them?

I have the Eibach ProKit and it rides great. The drop is a little over an inch, so it is not extremely low, but it makes for a really sporty look with a nice set of 17's and midprofile tires.....as soon as I get some pics going, I'll post them.

 

I also started looking at the Eibachs, but will be running stock rims, 16s, so I will be lower than you on 17s right? I might stick to the one inch drop on the Eibachs to be easier on my shocks. What do you think?

what springs are most of you running with koni yellows. im considering kgmm racesprings, and im leaning towards more of that than ebiach.

 

Nice car !!!

 

I'm looking for also parts like eibach sport line and koni's yellows.. with 17" wheels with front 215/45 and rear 235/40...

That might be good setup !?

Anyone tried their S2000, K&W package (shocks+ springs) ?
Is that good?

 

Im leaning towards the Eibachs however, I searched for prices on Koni shocks and found quotes of 150 each. I definatly wont be lowering my car if I have to pay that much for shocks. Are they really this much? Where should I order them?
gmoore

EDIT- Also, will the Eibachs degrade the shocks so they dont work as well? Or completely ruin them?

tein RA

 

Buddyclub Racing Spec damper or Spoon coil-overs can get this ride height. KGM springs won't be as low and you can combinate it with any shocks you want cuz the springs are pretty good setup to start with.

 

A&J, you guys always have the very sweetest rides parked at your shop! and tha S2k is no exception. btw, are all these rhd cars legal to drive in canada?

 

Beautiful 04

 

Actually it's a 2003 but converted with 2004 headlamps and bumpers.

 

Along with changing the headlights....did you also get the '04 LED taillights.....

 

Nope cuz I am short in cash.

 

went from h&r cupkit to jic flt a-2....
