Default Pic request: S2K on Koni yellows

Pic request: S2000 with Koni yellow struts set on the low perch setting with stock springs. I know it's only approx. 1/2" drop, but if it's noticeable enough I'll replace my coilovers with them. I want to make my car more daily driveable and autox stock legal but still have a somewhat lowered stance. Thanks!

Oh yeah, bonus brownie points if it's on early AP2 wheels!

Are adjustable perches stock legal? I don't believe they are (or you have to use the stock height).

I dont think it is legal for stock class. I have run BSP/ SM class due to aftermarket rims and drop.

Thanks for the pic, Tenblade. Your S looks HOT. Looking forward to your pic too, milkbubble.

For autox stock class, you're allowed to change shocks but not the stock spring height, so Koni yellows are legal but not with the perches on the low setting. Most local clubs won't mind such an insignificant mod though, at least not until you start getting competitive. When (if) I get to that point, I'll just set the perches back to stock height at no extra cost. Now I just need to figure out if it's possible to change the height of the perches with the suspension still on the car...

There's also the daily driver issue. I've decided to keep the S as my only car. Slammed car with stiff suspension and little ground clearance just doesn't mix well with Miami potholes, business meetings or hot dates...

I think the low pertch is a bit too low on stock or aftermarket springs IMO. I run on Konis with Eibach springs. Perfect hight personally and I daily drive my car in L.A.
