Default need help with springs please

I have 17s and I want to keep the stock shocks and I'am not sure if the espelier springs will look the best or the Sprints. I want the fender gap gone as much as possible. Does anyone have pics of the sprints and also where is the best site to buy either sprints or espelier. Modacar has sprint springs for$199 and claim they have a drop of 2.5''


Thanks for any help.

I have Espelir's and love them. Great look and OEM comfort.

Go with espelirs, it's a moderate drop if you plan on keeping your stock shocks. Over time, your shocks will wear out, going with a dramatic drop will increase the rate at which your shocks will blow.

I've heard good things with Swift Spec R springs.

2.5" might be a bit too low for the S2000 to remain functional though. 1.5" should be good for the S2000.

I’m sure the people that posted this thread 12 years ago appreciate the recent responses.

You know they have many nice coilovers now, adjust them till hearts content. I am always afraid of buying springs and then to find my car pointing up or down

2007 cool

If you want a 2.5" drop on factory dampers, might as well just cut the factory springs at that point because either way the car will be on the bump stops so springs wont be in play anyway. How much travel you think this offroad car has to give anyway?
