If you are lowered on Springs alone, please post pictures and which springs you used.
This way I can see how low I'll be able to go with each spring.

if he cant adjust the coilovers right then hes going to ruin the ride.

Is that the name of the springs? I'm a DC guy, but I'm buying a S2K next week.
Does anyone have a picture of them installed? I'd like to see how the drop will look.

^^^^ how do you like them? Have you found the ride/handling to be like stock just more stiff.
I like the look Tho.

I'd decide with what wheels you want to go with first before you do springs. Depending on how aggressive you go with width or offset, you'll be in a world of **** if you have springs that put you too low, unless you want to roll fenders, run camber, etc..

I agree...and have them corner balanced to make sure the ride is not ruined.

they ride very nice. .if you are on little bumps and dips you dont even know they're there. you can only tell on bigger bumps.
handles a bit better too, i picked up a few mph in a few of my favorite turns.

I'm willing to spend the extra money if Springs are bad for the car, but I don't track or race my vehicles. So if I can save money on springs, and still maintain the durability of the vehicle, than that's what I want.
lowering is a must though.

Re: I'm going to lower my S2000, need advice on springs. (B18ls*RAYON)
I just changed my out for S-W-I-F-T mach springs. Just test drove them and they feel almost like stock but it was a short ride. I'm going to Auto-X tomorrow so I'll let you know how they work. I'm in the same situation I want the same handling characteristics but just less body roll. I track my car 2-3 times a year and a few Auto-X's so I want the best of both worlds...I'm not fully convinced I need to go full coilovers yet, plus there is not a shop I trust to enough here to do the final set up for them.
