Default spring recommendations?

hey all, I can almost feel the spring in the future. peeked at the s2000 under wraps in the garage and realized that after putting on new wheels in the fall I need to lower it. don't want a huge drop, just 1.5 inches, and would prefer to keep stock shocks.

any recommendations for springs at a resonable price?

thanks

Dan

Eibach drops approx. 1.1 roughly and the best for running OEM shocks IMO.

Espelir are closer to the 1.5...please tell us the size detail the wheels you got you may rub the liner clips.

You should be good in the rear with that width and tire offset

The fronts may get some clip rub...but it depends on the tire manufacture

I have H&R springs for 3 years now and love them on the stock shocks it's a totally oem ride but lowered. I have ridden in a eibach and think it's a little more bouncy.

I have the Tein S on stock shocks and it's about as low as I would go for my area. Ride is taught not to rough, turn in is a bit sharper.
