What? That is definitely 2-3 inches. I dont need to prove it to you, but I am just warning people that the Neuspeeds will dump your car.

hey ro_jo boy, how is the ride on tein s-tech springs. let me know , cuz im thinking bout picking those up. what kind of shocks do you have with them.

 

I have one for sale at the FS Forum.., it is Brand new never been opened..check ur mailbox u have a message

 

Whatever you do, just keep in mind that the stock shocks will hold up anywhere from 2,000 to 30,000 (most I've seen) before needing to be replaced.

I went with Eibachs and my stock shocks lasted me about 10,000 miles - BUT - everything is relative to the way you drive (and the way the previous owner drove if you bought yours used).

I am now riding on Konis and Comptech adjustable springs and am very pleased with this setup.

Here are a few answers for the 18" guys out there (these are based solely on my own experiences):

I was on 18" SSR GT1's (255/35 rear tires) with the Eibach springs and only rubbed in the rear when going over a drop in the road while going straight - never while turning.

Had 17" CE28N's (225 front, 255 rear) and never had a problem till I dropped the car to a little more than finger gap with the Koni/Comptechs and started rubbing like crazy in the front - never the rear.

Went back to stocks for a week - no rubs at all.

Now on 18" GT-C's with +50 offset (225F/245R) - as of last Thursday - and didn't rub at all. Just finished rolling the fenders and lowering the car some more and I cannot rub - I've been trying too! I think I can put a sideskirt on the ground before I rub

You can also put more negative camber on your alignment to angle the top of the wheel better

 

I love the S-Techs. I plan on upgrading to Koni shocks in a couple of months. I have been lowered for about 12,000 miles and the ride is still pretty damn good. I have 18s and do not rub at all. I have 18x8 +55 fronts and 18x9 +60 rears, so the offsets are damn good. Hope that helps reds!

I got teins on my RSX before, nice drop but the drop on the S2k is not as low about 1 inch i believe, i have R*SR and heard good things about it, 2 mbrs here are helping me install these this Sunday, cant wait.

 

I have Eibach Pro kit and stock shocks. 1" drop all the way around:





Rides a little stiffer than stock but a nice stiffer.

 

that looks nice....my pro-kit/koni combo should be comming in and installed tomorrow, so I'm glad I went with that choice especially now that I see how nice your car is with them........

 

kg/mm race springs and stock struts here with 18 inch volk te-37 wheels. hasnt scrubbed yet. rides pretty good.

 

It looks like in my case the total diameter of my wheels is gone to the front 25.1" and to the rear 25.2", while stock wheels were 25.0" and rear 24.8". Now the rear is supposed to be higher than the previous setup. I havent got so much knowledge in this matters so I will need all the help I can get.

Now in my case should I fit the Eibach Pro Kit to my S? Logically I should lower the rear more than in front...
