Default Lowering the S2000, Please Help Owners ....

I have lowered my past Honda's, a Civic and an Integra, and Going to order the Kg/MM race springs for my S2000. Lowering my previous Honda's wasnt that bad, just time consuming. But will I notice a difference in going about the lowering process for the S2000. Are there any special techniques to lower the car easier? If there are any Links to a F.A.Q. or a walkthrough please guide me. I hope i will be able to do this properly. What parts do i actually leave on the stock strut before placing the Aftermarket spring back in the strut? (pictures would help)...Any thoughts to my adventure to lowering my AP1 would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My friend owns a popular & local performance shop & he did my install. He said it's easier to do then a Civic. This link will help avoid a harsh, stiff & high ride:

Here's the link to installing coilovers (Same install method basically) FOUND IN THE S2KI LIBRARY!

BTW, excellent choice on the springs. The ride comfort's almost stock like & it looks so much better. Less body roll on turns too.

it's really easy and yes, it is easier than a Civic (which is quite hard).

You DON'T need spring compressor like you do on a Civic.

I lowered my s2K with Neuspeed sport springs. I got more lowering (2") than expected (1"). The ride is okay, but I have a problem.

I can not obtain factory specifications for the rear camber. My car is now set at -2.1 degree camber. Factory is -1.5 +/- .4 degree. I am concerned about tire wear, and handling.

I need a rear camber adjustment bolt that allows more eccentric adjustment of the camber link.

What are people doing to obtain rear camber settings? Any advice would be appreciated.
