Default Tein RA coilover setup questions:

I posted this in S2000 talk, but didn't have much success, so I decided to repost it here, as it is a somewhat technical question:

Just got my Tein RA's yesterday, and I am going to be installing them soon. I have two objectives: The first is to improve handling, and when I say handling, I am not talking ride quality. My ride can be absolute crap, as long as the suspension is tuned to make the car grip the road as well as possible. The second objective is to drop the car as much as 1.5-2 inches, without sacrificing road grip. I am hoping that lowering the car will increase grip, as I have read posts before that suggest lowering may decrease the cars handling capabilities. If anyone has any suggested setups, including drop and damper adjustments, I would greatly apreciate the advice. Advice from other coilover setups would be apreciated as well.

Thanks a lot,

-Bob

The vehicle should be corner balanced or you are just waisting money.
