lowering s2000
Hi, I'm currently replacing all the suspension bushes and suspension on my s2000. I am just thinking now about ride heights upon assembly . The car will be used for sunday blasts and track days, so my question is, is there an optimum amount to lower the car, thinking an even amount front and rear, or slightly more front?
Thank you in advance!

Height is down to user preference/whether you like bottoming out or not. I can't remember off the top of my head about rake, but if you search for "rake" you'll find some good discussions.

From my drifting days, I believe rake setup was about where you wanted the balance of grip. Forward rake (front end lower) increases front end grip. Reverse rake (rear lower) increases rear end grip. Personally I think you'd be best starting off with keeping everything even as possible similar to factory then go with about 30-40mm of drop which is fairly conservative, should still give plenty of clearance but still make a good difference to the CofG.
