Default Ride Height.

Sooo. I'm thinking about lowering my car a little more and was wondering if anyone had any opinions. I'm on 18" wheels, and I have about a one finger gap between the fender and the the tire. I want to lower it so there's either no gap or very, very, little gap. Anyone know if this will definitely be out of the question on Albuquerque streets? I'm not uncomfortable in the car now, and it's very drivable, I'm just wondering if another half an inch to an inch will be make an outrageous difference.

the only way to see if it works is to try it! I know on my evo I have it lowered to where the wheel is about 1/2 a finger gap tucked in the fenders and it does just fine on albuquerque streets. but with the s2000 its still stock ride height...for now at least. lol

I think you're right, I'll just have to try it and see what happens.

I'm on Buddy Club coilovers and they're great.

I do have Epsiler ASD springs on stock shocks for sale if you're interested. They drop the car about an inch or an inch and half all around. They feel pretty good. Lemme know if you're interested.

I'm not in town right now, but I think I'm gunna have to go ahead and lower it another half inch or so. I don't want any more gap!!
