Default is this ok?

First im not a trackstar or a motorhead so mercy me...I'm Starting to mod my ap2 and ive decided that i want to take a direction in which the stock theme of the car will never be blemished i like small stuff things that change the whole look but if i didnt tell someone they couldnt figure it out.....I'm planning to use Mugen spacers to even the stock wheels with the fender would i need (15 mm or 25mm) and then i'm looking for good coilover (brand?)to adjust the ride heigth and eliminate the fender gap. Has this been done before and what negative effects would i need to expect? I'd really appreciate the help~thanks

Do some search work here, you will find a lot on lowering the car Wheel spacers??? I'm not shure about.

going with a slightly wider tire will accomplish the same thing. I put 225/245 stagger front to back on my AP! rims and it helped to fill it out a bit. Its only 10mm on either side but it helped a bit

Actually wheel spacers DRASTICALLY change the whole appearance of the S2000. They make the stance on stock wheels amazing.

^ Yes I agree.
But what about durability?
Premature wear on bearings?
I've heard rumors but can anyone confirm this?
I would also like to add some spacers to the front(in case I want BBK)

i suggest you add a factory front lip and drop it 1". then throw on the comptech exhaust. take off the windsheild tape and debadge the car.
then have the paint swirls removed.
this will make your car cleaner then the pope outta a fresh shower.
