Default Affordable lowering springs with great ride quality and handling? Are they out there?

Well..I have been a owner of an s2000 for over a month..and must I am having a BLAST with this car...and my urge to keep it stock has went away . I wanna less the gap in the wheel wells...however are a bit disturbed from lowering such a well tuned car.

I dont wanna mess with the signature handling my s2 has..as well as the ride quality.

I dont have the money for Teins or full coil over susp...which most that I ridden in..give you a road race ride quality ..which isnt too comfy.

( I have Tein Rs's in my integra and they ride WAY too stiff on the softest setting)

What do you recommend? Eibach sportlines? Thats all I can think of...

Thanks again..and any help is MUCH appreciated

what I would recommend is konis, with the perch on the lower setting. it'll lower you 1/2 inch and ride the same and handle better. using the stock springs.

from what I have found from my similar searches and talking with sponsors, the Koni's and KG/MM is the most inexpensive set up $850 shipped. There is also a bilstein coilover PSS that is about $900 plus shipping.

LoL. Come one guys, give the guy a break. A search probably would have worked, but ya don't gotta shove a sword down the guys throat.

I personally have the Eibach Pro Kit springs. Does about a inch or so all around. Nice ride, but I recommend swapping out the stock shocks for some Konis later, or at the same time if you can. Good luck.
