haha, Buddy Clubs don't bring any added performance, even if he wasn't that low, it would still perform worse than the OEM suspension. His car now rides and handles like pure shit.

BTW, how do you like the J's 70RR, too loud or what?
The 70rr is loud at first but I got used to it.

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?
Damn, I think you're just jealous cuz my car is so slammed and I didn't spend over $3k on coilovers. HAHAHA, JK! Again, all I really have to watch out for are speed bumps, steep drive ways, and deep potholes. No tire rub, not even on U turns. Once in a while my x-brace will hit.

I just got my car this low for looks right now. I don't have time to mess around with the height and dampening levels. I'm sure sooner or later I'll realize that I jacked the whole feel of my car and but right now I'm happy with it.

Maybe if anybody in SoCal with a good suspension can meet up with me so I can drive/ride in an S and compare with mine???

Because it looks fast;slower than stock,but looking fast = coooool.!!!
Same thing with intakes and exhaust,the noisier,the better.!!!
