It'd be nice to lower the car, but a lot of us already have ground clearance issues as it is.

I know if I lowered mine I'd end up breaking off my front lip during winters here in Red Deer.

I don't think it is that high, must have been the angle of the road but the stock height with 17" seems fine.

But I always wanted a Ridgeline so just trying to make the S look like one ahhaha. :wink:

What's the stock ground clearance of the S? I think it's 4.1inches?

Eibach Pro-kit will make for the perfect drop

Looks good Former

Most people would argue that lowering springs make this car handle "weird" - myself included

But yeah, if looks were the goal, they do provide a nice drop.

What do you mean by handle weird?

And at what limits would you feel this?

I don't think I would push the car hard enough to feel a difference. I've had a few friends with lowered S2K's and never heard of them mentioning any handling issues. If anything, they say the car handles even better!

Lowering this car from stock would make it a totally useless vehicle as a daily winter driver. I've had enough "fancy pants" cars that had to sit all winter being completely useless. Never again. If I couldn't drive this car 12 months of the year, I would never have bought it. If it becomes another useless winter car (from being lowered), I'd get rid of it faster than you could blink.

Personally, as much as I think a "jacked up" SUV or 4X4 looks totally ignorant, a lowered S2000 would be the epitome of uselessness.

PS. Have I used the word "useless" enough times to get the point across yet?

One inch would make that much of a difference on the S2K??? hehe
