Hi Everyone,
My name is Christopher. I have a relatively stock 2007 S2000, with just a few simple modifications (shift knob, front spoiler, etc).

I've been looking into lowering my vehicle. My car is driven daily, all year long (including winter). I am looking for a mild drop, nothing too "slammed" as I need to be able to drive it over curbs, driveways, and most importantly....snow. I do not want to have to roll/pull the fenders if I don't have to. I'm also open to adding more negative camber if necessary. Here's my current summer setup (my winter setup are OEM wheels with OEM sized winter tires):

Wheels: Rota D2: 18x8 +48 front, 18x9 +50 rear
Tires: Continental ContiSport Contact 3: 225/40/18 front, 245/35/18 rear

Does anyone have experience using Eibach Pro-Kit springs with Rota D2 rims? I've heard that Eibach springs have a relatively mild drop, about one inch. Does anyone know if this set-up work ok without any rubbing issues?

Any recommendations would be very appreciated. Sorry if this has been discussed before...if so, please just forward me a link.

Regards,
Christopher

The fronts you should be fine but the rears MIGHT need a roll given those specs.

I've seen people run eibach drops with the rota D2s. That is with the s2000 spec rota D2s though so if that is your case, then you'll be fine.

i doubted it, prokit is not that low, 55 offset on 9 inch should clear

btw make sure you search about spring stiffness bias on different MY

iam7head,
Do you have any suggestions/recommendations? I'm assuming hgih spring stifness if required when lowering? From what I've found, there's only one Eibach Pro-Kit spring, so I don't believe I have a choice as far as spring stiffness.

you will NOT rub with that setup, the offsets are not low enough

Nofar

I incorrectly listed the Rota D2 offsets. I've updated my post. The rear size is actually 18x9 +50 (not +55). Fronts are correct at 18x8 +48.

I doubt this changes anything significantly.

I have the same setup but mine rubbes in the rear. I have no negative camber though

kylemonster85,
How significant is the rubbing on your car? Just over driveways/speed bumps...or all the time?

I have the exact same d2's as you, with the same offsets. i also have eibach springs and i have yet to even have the slightest sign of rubbing. I do however only have 245/35 tires on the rear and 215/40 on the front so that could contribute to no rubbing, i am trying to decide if i will go a bit wider, but am not sure.
