After seeing that, I'd definately lower it, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah go lower your car and enjoy the different ride and also driver beware the scrap issuse and possible damage that will cost more than you want to spend..... Thats my opinion I see all the cool lowered cars and hear the funny stories of my car was so low and cool until I went up a driveway or hit a nice pothole.. Also in my opinion S2000s should never have kits looks cheap IMO no offense to anyone and those wings haha Imo No purpose in use just a waste of money......IMO so dont get offended

Yes, lowering it does mean you have to be more cautious about entering driveways and going over speed bumps and such, but for the look of it, I think it's worth it.

About the S2000 not having a kit, I can see where you're coming from, but I like my S2000 with it's bodykit, sets my S apart. If you look at our last group drive photo, I'm the only S that doesn't look stock. BTW, I didn't get the spoiler to make friends, people flame me for it, but I like it and that's all that matters.
