I was not even aware they had "AP2" Espelir ASD springs. The ones I got for my 07 said AP1 on the springs and they work and fit fine. Now have close to 30K on the springs and no issues yet.

They do go quite low (don't believe the 1.2 inches or whatever they advertise). I'd say it's over 2 inches. Can't fit a finger under the rear and maybe get half a finger under the front fender. Great springs though.

Not to hijack, but I'm interested in the espelir springs as well. Can you keep the same shocks with them?

They do not lower the car 2". Thats a very substantial drop on an S2000. Id say closer to 1.5" or so.

I'd say its atleast 1.5 drop.. maybe 1inch or less gap with stock ap2 wheels, ride is just alittle harder with stock shocks but very streetable..

I should post pictures of my car for reference. Zero finger gap in the rear, and maybe half a finger to 1 finger gap in the front. Been this way about 1.5 weeks after I installed them.

I have seen other cars with Espelirs and they don't drop the car as much as mine did. Weird.
