Default Would this be a good drop for the s2k?

I'm going to get coilovers later on i can't right now cuz i just had to give $4000 down to get the car, so i wanna get springs till next summer , on ebay they are selling skunk 2 spring for $135.00 Front 2.0 and Rear 1.8, what do you guys think , btw i like my car nice and low but not low to the point where you can't see part of the tire just enough so there isn't any gap. THanks

A 2" drop in front is getting into territory where you have to be VERY careful how you take parking lot entrances, driveways. etc. I went back to stock height after riding around with a 1.5" drop for 3 years. Your front bumber and/or lip will thank you not to.

Im lowered on espelir springs along with koni yellows. Keep in mind that I have them set on the lower perch so its lower than it normally would be. Im guessing im around 1.8 inches.

Well, I love my 1inch drop, I dont kare if it looks close to stock, but I have never worried about getting out of parking lots, dodging other cars off my driveway as I slip by, nor do I worry about big potholes while I drive at night.

And I will admit, I have scrapped a couple of times EVEN with my 1inch drop. IMO, I love the drop because my wheels give it some justice.

Anywho, goodluck on your drop, and I'll pray for your front lip.
