i used to have the h&r springs on my car with the stock shocks... it lowered the car about .5 in. and it drove and handled nicely...picked it up from tire rack for under 200.00.....

haha, well, i guess i was kinda rude, huh?
sorry, dude.

but at least gimme some credit,
i didn't just bluntly put the search button picture there,
i also made it as a link so that you can click it.

okay, so all that kiddings aside,
you needed personal reviews,
all you had to do is just type in "spring" or "lowering spring"
in the search field.
you'll be able to find 100+ so-called "personal reviews."

personally i'd love to have kg/mm or espelir on my car.
eibach would be the lowest i'd go as far as lowering springs concern.
cheaper than that i would avoid.

thanx for standing up for me, s2kmugen,
but i have to disagree on neuspeeds per my personal experience.
they are the cheapest you'll find for s2000,
but it's actually a bit softer than stock, and you'll kill the car's handling.

Advancexgsr,
keeping the perfect stock tune and handling + aftermarket spring is a near impossible combo.
my suggestion is that rather than search for some cheap shiet, you buy the best spring kit out there such as kg/mm or espelir,
or be a bit more patient and invest in some reputable coil-over kits.

i'm not too familiar with tanabes.
not a big fan of their exhausts,
so maybe the name "tanabe" is kinda pushing me away.

do you like it?

You can also check out the B&G lowering springs drop the ride about 1/2 inch and work well with the stock shocks.

Neuspeeds = Crap.


If you want to keep the stock shocks, go for the KG/MM Sport Springs.

after a couple of days of research i decided to go with the kg/mm springs. going to get coil overs down the road but after buying an aftercooler, hardtop and guages in the past couple months, got kind of set back.
