If your going to get extremely low springs you better get shocks with them or get coilovers because you will blow your stock shocks quickly.

If you're looking for the lowest possible drop, I would seriously consider getting a coilover system that allows for height adjustment without changing the spring rate.

Just curious, why do you want to go so low? It's not because you think it will make the S2000 handle better is it? From what I've experienced, the S2000 handles best at stock ride height, or maybe 1 inch lower than stock. Both conditions of course with upgraded suspensions.

actually the teins dont go that low, i beleive buddy clubs go a lot lower, when i had my RA's i set them to the lowest setting. the result, nearly tucked in the front and about a one finger gap in the rear. i have seen pics of a member with bc's that cleanly tucked all fours.

But even with coils if you lower the car too much the handling is tainted...

The reason I'm asking which springs drop the S2000 the lowest, is because i have the H&R springs with my HRE's and there is still a gap on the front, but more in the rear. I really want to eliminate that gap i have on all four tires, check them out for your self.

Front:



Rear's:
