Been looking at getting an S and putting a Veilside kit on it. I've seen many pics with this kit on, but wondered if the car was lowered. Do people lower s2k's? I know the kit will make the car look lower because it adds some body molding to the bottom of the car, but I really don't want to lower the car. But I also don't want a big fender gap. What do most people do? Do you put 18" wheels on to fill the gap and then with a body kit it still looks low?

thats the next question...what size wheels to get. Was thinking 17's, but I wonder if 18's would look better. Or do ppl even go up to 19? Thought I saw some 19's on some pics...

Thanks ahead.

 

i would just get a body kit and 18's since you do not want to lower it....the wheel gap would not be too noticeable...

 

Thats what I was thinking. So do most people not lower theirs?

 

with 18" i think the gap is bigger...
lots of eibach springs running around on our cars!

 

i see...of course it depends on the size tires too. I have eibachs on my civic and love them. So they make a kit for the s2000? How much of a drop? 1 inch I'd assume?

Is it worth doing?

 

yup, about 1" and probably the closest to the stock ride as any. i have seen them on stock cars- looks nice, but a bit too low for me. with 18" wheels, brings the car back to about the same distance from the ground as stock.

 

You need to maintain stock tire+wheel diameters. Increasing the sum of the diameters will throw off speedometer readings, handling, performance, etc.

 

Cool, thanks for the info. If anyone has any pics of lowered S's please post them!

 

they are all over the photo gallery forum...
in fact, mine was photoshopped yesterday to lower it!
will find it and post back
