Default Lowering spring question

Hey guys Im going to be a new s2k owner at the start of the summer and my immediate plans are lowering with springs (full coilovers in the future) and some wheels (unsure of 17's or 18's? Suggestions?)

Anyways what springs do you guys suggest? I dont want the car to look lower in the rear than it does in the front. I was thinking maybe some neuspeed sports (1.25) or Eibach prokit (1 inch)

Thanks in advance.

IMO the best springs for the s2k are the KG/MM , i have em and they are truly great , plus they are progressive
super sports 0.75 all round
race 1.25 all round

Neuspeed are very,very soft,and will sag a lot lower than 1.1/4 inch.
Depends,what you're looking for ;perf.or looks.

Im looking for a combo of both - i dont want to go too low as Im going to be driving this in the winter. The look of the drop on Saud2k's car is about what Im looking for.

Get the KG/MM Supersport,and add a set of Koni Yellow.
Total drop will be 1.10 inch,with the Koni on lower perch,and you will improve handling,and cornering,over OEM,at the same time.
Ride will be stiffer,but the Koni are adjustables.

Get some RSR ti 2000s. I have them and I have no complates (I have about 25,000 miles on them with no problems). Also as far as I know the RSR ti 2000s are the only titanium spring out for the S2000 (I could be wrong) which makes them the lightest and strongest srping available. With that said it is a pretty hard ride at times but there is zero body roll when I turn.

You'll get as many answers as there are brand name of springs.
Determine what you need,and check what's available;sprig rates,etc...
