I know Dut would say go lower 
.
I know Usual Suspect is about an inch lower than this all around and amazingly it doesnt bounce with his BC coilovers but he said the Tein RS rides better for daily driving. I am wondering do you rub with your front tires on your OEM fenders at that drop? Looks like its touching in the pics. I like being low but if it sacrifices ride quality than I would raise it up a little. Looks like your about an inch lower than me. If you decide to get an aftermarket header than choose wisely. I am running a Toda header and I am at the limit in drop. I cant go lower because it will damage the header, let alone the exhaust...
Looks good though.

Don't you guys hate the way the car handles. The S2000 needs a good amount of shock travel when pushed to the limit. I know most any sub $2000 coilover kit does not give you more shock travel than stock when lowered that much. The only thing I can figure is you guys drive like old ladies. 
to that. Sorry if I'm not down with the scene, I more down with going balls to the walls around turns (i.e. Fast).
I was always taught the ideal ride height was as low as you can go while still having 1/2 inch of clearance from either the ground or from the tires hitting body pieces.
BTW, I'm not trying to flame, just trying to figure out why people think this is cool?
