point well taken ninegrand. I know they are stiffer then the stock setup, so no they are not matched. but they do work well with the stock struts.

looks like you made your decision

Yea I've noticed that the S2000 stock is already a lot lower than most cars on the road. The wheel gap is still kinda large but you don't have much clearence to work with. This is with the '04 front lip though, I'm sure you'll have more clearence to start with stock but still lower than most.

I know I have to lower my car, even if just a little, I've been researching a lot of different options. On my daily driver (Accord V6) I have Tein coilovers, they ride nice but I have to admit that I never changed the ride height once it was set. So I figure with the S I'll be perfectly happy with a spring/shock setup. As long as I figure out what the drop will be that'll give me a more aggressive look, let me preserve my front lip and let me drive like a normal human being (not having to avoid every little bump).

This is an old pic of my car - I thought you'd be interested since it has the OEM lip and the kg/mm supersports and the 17" ASAs (same as the Shuk)

this has been helpful to me.

i'm planning on dropping my car with the eibachs too.

one thing i've noticed though is that there's been some camber wear on my friends s2k. he has the prokit and its been 2 years since he's dropped the car.

anyone recommend a camber kit for the s2k. does ingalls make a kit?

There is no camber kit for the S2000... everything you need is already on the car.

Thanks for the help guys, and for the pictures. I'll probably go with the H&R's since they're like $50 less, and a little higher. (I have a steep driveway, and speed bumps.) I can't wait to get the springs/wheels/intake on, the car will look and sound soo good.
