Ask and you shall receive. Sorry the photos are a bit dark, I just ran out to the garage and shot them. These are with the stock springs on the lower perch of the Konis.
As far as the car not handling as well when it was very low, maybe what I should have said was the car didn't handle as neutral as stock. The car felt flighty and grabbed every groove in the road on the highway. My alignment guy told me this is because the Hondas don't have the range of adjustments as say, a BMW for the front end. As the car gets lower it changes the angle of the front suspension. What you see is when the front wheels turn left or right they start to "flop over". This will affect how it handles negatively. Ask many of the members here who track their cars, I bet they'll tell you the stock suspension settings are what they run. Anyway, if I were to run the car that low again I'd invest in a bumpsteer kit for the front end. This will help to compensate for the messed up steering angles.
I am in a similar situation having recently purchased 18" Work wheels off of a local member. Personally 18"'s weren't my first choice, but the price was right and I wanted to get away from the AP1 stock wheels that came on my 2nd S2000. To me the car looks more like a Porsche Cayenne than my old AP2 did, so I feel your pain. I was recommended to look at the Eibach Pro kit as well as coilovers but the price difference is huge! If it was a friend asking me with way to go I would say "if you don't plan on corner balancing or tracking it the coilovers are a waste" but now that I am in the same place, my emotions are getting the better of reason. Moreover, I too am experiencing bump steer and it's driving me nuts! In the end, I think finances are going to make the decision for me, because I just cannot see myself on 18" without the drop!
I have espelirs on stock struts as well. i love the drop but it might be a bit low for some people.
If you want something thats now to low but you can still tell that its dropped, i would go with the S-techs.
The espelirs give you a finger gap at most.
What tires are you running btw?
Too dropped? The Espelirs only drop 0.2 in the rear more than the S-techs. The front is actually higher than the S-techs. By 0.1 more.. I dont think its too dropped. I dont think its too low at all.. I completely disagree with you. Plus I have very agressive offset on my wheels and its not too much. If anything, I'd drop the front about 0.3 of an inch more.
