I am looking at getting some Neuspeed springs but I hear different quotes regarding finnal drop....everything from 1.25 (from Neuspeed) to 1" to 2" from some various threads. However, most of those were "I heard...blah, blah, blah" comments. None from people that are actually running them. So, if anyone is running the Neupseed spring, would you mind giving me your input ie. drop, what size wheels you have (I plan on going to 17" ), stock vs other shocks.
thanks,

from what i heard it depends on what year you have. on my '00 it dropped it 1.25 inches. it's a nice drop IMO. but i have seen '02s and up with same springs and it was dropped a hell of a lot lower than mine. i think 1.75' to 2'

 

Neuspeed's drop on my '00 was around 1.5" - a very nice drop mind you, but it was too low for daily driving, and though it's actually "softer" initially, you hit the limit of the springs real quick and the car may feel a bit "bouncy" if the road condition wasn't good.

If all the roads were paved flat, that's a good set of springs to go with - and it made the car look really good standing still.

 

were you guys running stock springs? Would my 01 drop be closer to the 1.5 of the 00 or 2" of the 02
thanks

 

i have an 02 with 19 inch rims and neuspeed springs, look at my signature for the pic

One, if not the THE, best looking S2000 around! What springs? or do you have stock?

 

he's got neuspeed springs, it sais it in his post.

That car is definetly hot and i want to get those axis hagen's.

You think the car would be bumpy at all if I put the springs on some brand new shocks?

 

I have neuspeed Springs in MY01. I will be replacing them soon because I have Bilstien coilovers just waiting to be put in.. Been pretty lazy lately. Anyway, it lowered my car about 1.5" and it looks hyper clean. The only issue that I have is that a larger sway bar is pretty much required because you do hit the max of the springs pretty quickly in hard right corners. I have no issue with hard left corners funny enough. Anyway, they are good springs if that is what you are after. I really like them.. Put it this way, if I hated them, they would be off my car in an instant.. I have coilovers just chillin' but I don't feel like I have to put them on just yet.. Enjoying my drive as is with the neuspeed springs..

 

I have the Neuspeed springs on my '03 and I have a 1.75 drop with stock shocks and stock wheels. Intially the drop was more like 1.5, but after a week or so it dropped to around 1.75, or 1 1/2 finger gap between the wheel and the fender. Hope that helps.

BTW, TeamRedLine...do you have rubbing issues with your 19's on Neuspeed springs?
