Right now my 04 is sitting on stock suspension. I'd rather it be sitting stock than lowered on something that is purely cosmetic. The pic in my sig is how my car sits.. thats why its pointless to post another one. I posted my old car because he posted his to show even when I do lower a car I don't see the point in dumping it like a low rider. A lot of people on this forum really slam the crap out of their cars but I don't think I've seen a car sitting that low that was interested in the performance of the car.

It is also valved accordingly, you can't compare a race car specificially designed by a racing company with their parts that the dampening and valving is built for that specific car and setup, to someone that just goes and buys coilovers and cranks them all the way down. Apples to Oranges.. come on.

Lowering the S2000 past a certain point puts the A-arms at an inappropriate angle. Beyond a certain point steps should be taken to maintain the integrity of the suspension. The J's car does this through a wide range of modifications. Many of which can be seen on AJRs website. Roll center adjusters and drive shaft spacers are just a few of them.

as we all know real coilovers shorten the length of the strut not the travle of the piston. i have full suspension travel. as for the control arms they are not even close to angles that would sacrafice ride quality or performance in the turns. so for all of you who said it looks good thank you. for the others cant you just live and let live.
