Default s2000 spring options

looking to get a set of springs to get rid of the wheel gap. not sure on what my options are, i've definitely noticed that s2000 parts are not as plentiful as civic/integra parts. any pics would be helpful too. i don't plan on getting anything larger than a 16'' rim.

get neuspeed sport springs, they're perfect IMO. they reduce the gap but without that "ghetto drop" look. i suggest upgrading to koni yellow shocks since you'll end up changing your OEM shocks a couple months/years later.

OR

you can spend the same amont for a true coilover setup,and you can adjust the height as needed. i used to like Tein, but lots of people are having problems with leaks.

Ground Control makes an adjustible coilover/sleeve for the OEM shock. It uses Eibach race spring (linear rate) front 340/rear 380. These have been used on the track and appear to do a good job. When you decide to upgrade, you can order the Advanced Design Ground Control coilovers (12 way adjustible, CNC machined AL bodies, Titanium and SS internals, completely user servicable) and reuse the springs for $900 more. Best bang for the buck, adjustible height, race proven and from a company with a huge racing presence.

i've heard bad things about neuspeed springs for the s2k, that they actually worsen performance over stock springs. can the stock suspension actually be improved with springs, or a full coilover setup the only way to go?

Many think that full coilover setups are the way to go. Some insist you can get away with just springs. Boils down to if you want to mix and match pieces (shocks, CO sleeves, springs) or go with one system all made by the same company.
