Hi Guys,

I am planning on lowering my car by around 25 - 30mm all round on Coilovers. I was aware that I would need a few extra bits to help get the geometry back in spec but I am confused as to what exactly I require?

My research shows buying Megan Racing parts from the US is the cheapest way to get the parts I need but I am not sure what I need.

I was going to go for:

- Front Bump Steer kit
- Rear Bump Steer Kit
- Drive Shaft Spacers (half)

But then I have seen further options like Front and Rear roll centre adjusters , Rear Toe Arms, Tie Rod Ends. I would like to buy everything in one go to save on postage so what do you recommend?

Car is a summer daily driver and will be hopefully making a few track outings this year.

Thanks

If it's a daily driver - I wouldn't go that low - it just gets frustrating when grinding the front over speed bumps, kerbs etc.. Go less than 20mm and you won't need any of it!

If you go low - drive shaft spacers, bump steers and toe arms will be needed IIRC.

Don't think you need anything for 25-30mm lowering,
as its within adjustable range.
And if your not going for the very good coilovers,
as above keep the oem dampers they are valved for the car and Eibach springs £150

I was going to go for Miester Rs but after further reading and seeing first hand how good Ohlins were I decided to go with the Ohlins DFV which are expensive but the s2000 is all about handling so I didn't want to compromise on it.

My lowering plan is simply to remove the standard massive gaps around the wheel arches. I was going to go for the recommended Ohlins ride height set up initially since it seems a good sensible height.

So am I best just fitting the coilovers and seeing if I can get the geometry back into spec and if so then I don't need anything? Luckily on my last geo I had no seized adjuster bolts (hope this is still the case lol )

Thanks for the advice.

You probably don't need any of those extras with a mild 25 mm drop

My advice would be to buy the coilovers, fit them, and get a half decent geo

Then drive the car and see how it feels. You can then take it from there

I agree with Chris, that will be my approach when i fit as i wont go silly low
