I found some skunk2 lowering springs for around 200 bux that lower the car about 2 inches. Is that pretty low for the S? I want to keep or imoprove the great handling, would the springs make it better or worse?
Thanks

 

Worse, period

 

Not sure about the Skunk springs, but I got the Tein S-techs on my car and am impressed/happy with them. They only lower the car about an inch though...

 

Idom, why worse?

 

your OEM struts will not have very much piston travel.

My advice from all the threads i've read is this:

Using OEM struts, keep the drop equal to or less then 1 inch.

1.5+ is too much and will greatly reduce the life and performace of the strut.

Tight on budget?

Get Koni's with springs springs but do not exceed 500 lbs springs on OEM koni's.

Get Buddy Club or Megans Coilovers for the price are decent.

For a little more, Bilstein pss9, KW var 2

Next level KW var 3

 

 

For those lowered, is it necessary to have shaft spacer? heard that the drive shaft is being stressed if car is lowered. How does this work?

 

skunk2 are decent, it drop its enough to keep you satisfied i swapped mines around front to back, vice versa 1 finger gap front, 2 rear rode fine handled a bit less like stock and kinda bumpy on the road, im on amuse coils now, never going back =o)

AMUSE FTW!
