Default how to lower my s2k?

im looking for a way to get my car to be as low as i like my cars, but it seems like all coilovers (like teins, JIC's...) only will go down about 1.5-2 inches. im looking for a way to get my car down atleast 2.5 inches, possibly a little more. anyone done this on there s2000? what set-up are you running. how low can you get it? any help and pics would be grreatly appreciated. thanks

The Buddy Clubs have a good adjustment range. Try searching, I know there are pics on here somewhere. BTW, if you have all the right parts coilovers are easier to install than just springs on OEM shocks.

uhhh... how low are you planning to bring the car.. neuspeeds definitely bring it the lowest.. anything lower would look a bit excessive. the drop heights dont range to like 3 inches or something like maybe if your used to like civic/integra type drop springs... the s2k stock doesnt have as much of a fender gap as letsay a wrx...

i've seen tein s-tech springs.. and i believe there isnt much fender gap at all..

sounds to me like your building a lowrider?

"affordable," go with adjustable springs - comptech adjustable springs, you can DUMP on those.

less affordable, coilovers of pretty much any type.

I've had the comptechs and they can be put LOW.

I now run the Tein RA's, and it's pretty damn low too. Any lower with my offsets, and I'm in trouble. I'm already pushing the limits. I would say check what offsets you will be running before deciding how low to drop.

how low did your comptech's go? a lot further than your tein ra's? do you have any pics of your car with the RA's on it? can they still go lower than what you run them at?

i am looking for a full coilover set up. im not trying to go affordable when it comes to suspension, i want to do it once properly and thats it. what do you guys think would be the best full coilover to run to get my car down atleast 2.5"? thanks for all the help.
