I didn't have clue which forum to post this in, but I frequent Off-Topic quite often, so I thought I would try here first (Mods, feel free to move this to appropriate section)

I am currently looking to buy springs for my S. I was trying to buy Espelir Springs, but they are on a major back-order right now. I also looked at kg/mm Springs, but they are 15% more expensive than the Espelirs. It then came to my attention that Skunk2 makes Springs for the S, and they are 10% cheaper than the Espelirs. I do have a couple of questions about them though:
1. Are these a good Spring? I hear a lot of positive feedback about the Espelir's and kg/mm's, but have heard nothing about the Skunk2's.
2. Will I rub? The Espelir's and kg/mm's both lower approx. 1.3 inches, but the Skunk's lower 1.5. I am in the midst of buying some 18" OZ Superleggeras with Kumho rubber (225/18/40 front and 245/18/35 back), and would like to know if the Skunk's will lower too much, causing rubbing issues.

Any input is much appreciated

 

I'd like to know also. I don't track this car and I'm not looking to make it a super car. Just some moderate upgrades. Don't want to spend tons of $$$$$$.

 

Bringing back an old thread...did you ever pickup the Skunk2 springs? I too have some 18" OZ Ultraleggeras and have been thinking about the the Skunk2 springs.

However, Skunk2's website only shows an 1" drop--am I missing something?

Adding link and table on Skunk2's website...

Skunk2 Lowering Springs

 

I have these springs. We just held our annual Tupelo Autocross, I had no rubbing what so ever.

 

Nice! Are you running stock shocks? How is the handling compared to stock (I'm more interested in performance vs. confort)? Is the ride bouncy?

 

I used to have those springs, the car sits reallyyyy low with those springs, the ride wasnt good at all, I didnt like those springs, I went with eibach, and never regret it...



peace

 

I'm starting to think that Skunk2 made different versions of their springs for the S2000. I've been reading on here that the springs will result in a 2-in. drop but Skunk2's spec sheet says that it's a 1-in. drop. Pretty weird...anyone know if this is the case?

 

Stock shocks, It rides like stock to me but ive had them on the car for a while, I might have just gotten used to them. Mine stated that it was 2" drop in the front and 2.25" in the rear. I dont think it went quite that low but it did lower it a lot. Looks good for springs though.

 

I'm getting the APEX 30mm ( 1,2") lowering springs this week, couldn't find any topic about them so i'm gonna try them out myself.
