Default BEST LOWERING SPRINGS

Picked up my 3rd S2k 2 weeks ago. I want to lower the car to improve the handling but not go to a full set of coilovers. I'm getting old and need a bit of comfort
What's out there that will give maybe 20-30 mm ride height reduction but not shake my fillings out?

Richard,

Best IMO swift as they work best with the stock coilovers and lower by around 22mm, they were designed for the stock coilovers but you'll have to import them from the US.

I had some on my old S2000 and the ride was only slightly firmer and i thought were great.

Take car of springs rates etc.

I researched this a while back and lots of people seemed happy with the Eibach Pro Kit.

Just about all the lowering springs as far as compliant with stock shocks are fine for ap1s but with ap2 my04 and beyond hand changed the spring rate bias and rates thus won't match.
