actually i'm dropped on espiler with stock shocks and it doesnt look much lower than that. maybe its the angles or colors of our cars but it looks almost the same

 

[QUOTE=krazyaznboy,Aug 25 2006, 12:46 PM]actually i'm dropped on espiler with stock shocks and it doesnt look much lower than that.

 

I think that the black color of my car, and the fairly sorry shots, are making it a bit difficult to see the actual drop. My car has even 2 finger gaps all the way around the tire, yours looks more like 1 finger gap...but I may be mistaken.

 

Whats the waranty Swift springs offer? comapred to Tein S Tech? im debating betwing the two, Swifts retail for almost twice as much as Tein S! why?

Tein S are just ~ .2 inches lower in front and same drop in the back as Swift
with slightly stiffer rates on the teins

 

swift>tein anyday of the week. i have driven on both sets of springs on numerous vehicles and have come away impressed with swift each time.

you can get a set of swift's for $277.00 plus shipping

how about Tanabe GF210 Springs seems to have same rates as Swift?
but with an -.8 even drop

 

and im scared swift might not be low enogh i don't want a slamed look but want a noticeble difference from stock height 1" i think would be perfect

 

the tanabe springs are ok...we actually sell quite a bit of them but mainly for vehicles like the yaris and fit who do not have the luxury of a spring of swift's quality. the ride height is only an estimate, obviously there are many other variables that need to be factored in to determine how the vehicle will sit.

 

what can the factors be? my setup would definly be on OEM shocks for now

 

First, in relation to a question asked earlier, Swift Springs are linear not progressive.

And from what I've heard on the Competition forum, the Koni yellow shocks are actually a little bit softer than the stock shocks on S2000s, even at full stiff. Some guys like running these in competition because they feel that it makes the car easier to control at the limit, plus they're adjustable so you can dial in the handling that you want. And the Koni shocks have two perches to mount them on, the lower perch will actually lower the car 1/2" by itself so if you used the lower perch in combination with the Swift Springs, you would get about the same drop as the Espelir combo.

It would be really great if anybody knew of someone who custom valves Koni shocks for S2000s, I know a company who does them for Camaros as I used to auto-x one, and revalving a set of Konis can make a world of difference.
