That's pretty low ... I wouldn't lower ANY S2000 much more than 1.5" unless it was going to be a serious track car.

I wouldn't lower it more than 1.5" ESPECIALLY if it were going to be a serious track car. You screw up the angles of the a-arms.

Install really, really firm springs and lower it 5" so that it sort of jiggles when you go over bumps. Chicks dig that.

If you do go 2-3 inches you may consider the J's Racing axle spacers... Unless you like replacing axles that is.
