Default Choice of Springs.. OPINIONS?

I'm going to buy springs this week for my S2K. I'm looking at Neuspeed, Tein Stechs, or Skunk 2. Opinions? I'm looking mainly to lose the wheel gap. The car is not raced or autocrossed. Any help is appreciated.

May want to move this to s2000 talk. I would recommend Espelir. Not sure how much it helps but this link has some chat about lowering my car. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=509183

Swift springs. You might want to consider getting aftermarket struts too.

that Swift are probably the best springs out there, but if you have the funds, go with coilovers. Don't bother with springs, do it right the first time.

Yeah swift are springs. I have the red ones and I think they are about 1-1.5 drop. I put them on Koni yellows (struts) which have a adjustable spring perch that allows you to lower you car a additional half inch.

To sum it all up for you, springs alone on the S are not the best way to go, if you do it at a minimum you should swap the OEM struts for a good after market set. If you feel you need want the option to adjust your suspension a coilover is going to be the best option for you.

I have had coilovers on my old integra and curently on my Prelude, I like the option of being able to have a fully adjustable damper but to be honest, it is a bit over kill for my everyday driving. This is why I chose to go with swift springs and Konis on the S.
