Default Swift Spec R + Wheels

Is there a thread specific to photos of S2000s lowered on Swift Spec Rs? I've tried searching. To be exact, I was looking to see if I could locate a photo of an AP1 lowered on Swift Spec Rs with RPF1s (17x9+45). I looked through (and searched) the X amount of pages of the RPF1 threads and found a couple comments where members would be installing the springs and will post photos however no photos followed. The photos I was able to find has the "jdm" angle so the photos are useless.

I'm looking for and hoping S2000 owner's lowered on Swift Spec Rs will post photos of their cars and wheel setup. The purpose of this thread is to showcase the consistency of the 'drop' on different S2000s, springs combined with a wheel setup, and for folks like me, to get an idea of how and what to expect from one of the most popular springs for the S2000. I think this thread could serve as an example of what these springs can do in the asthetic department and possibly performance department (which I have linked a couple of reviews below).

Lastly, the photos I did find, I'm not truly satisfied with.

Perhaps I'm just anal or perhaps this is just a useless thread. I'll wait and see. Either way, I learned that my gf bought me a set of these springs so upon installation, I will post photos.

You can find quite a few images (of varying quality of course) by simply searching "swift spec r s2ki" on Google Images. If you click through on some of the images, you'll land on this site and might be able to find wheel specs. Not sure if this thread will turn into something better or not.

Thanks for the input. I did that too.

If this thread turns into something great, awesome. If it doesn't and is a complete waste, I'd be happy with mods closing or deleting this thread altogether.

The ride height is about ideal with these springs... definitely no need to go lower. I wouldn't mind a set mated to CR shocks.

Like those wheels, but 7" wide on the rear? That's more narrow than stock AP1 wheels. Are you running 225 tires?

Definitely wouldnt go lower either...and yes half an inch less than OEM rim but i still got 225 Bridgestone Adrenalins on them and they feel as grippy (if not better in wet) as the original S-02 that were on the 16" rim. Also while not ideal size i could easily put 235 on them but didnt bother..

This is exactly what I'm about to install onto my car. Picked up CR shocks with Swift Spec R already mounted on them from a friend. He bought everything new so they only got 10k miles on them. Super stoked!

The first few weeks the car was bouncy but eventually settled down and drives just like stock now
