I m thinking of lowering my S2000 for road use only, I want to try some lowering springs first, what do you suggest?
Thanks

How low do you want to go? I'd do only mild drops on factory shocks. Eibach and Swift are good choices.

Lowering springs are a great place to start. Eibach/Swift/Tein are good choices as Mark mentioned.

Remember that springs don't give you any adjustment options with regards to height/dampening. This is where a coilover has the advantage. But much more expensive.

honestly if you are not tracking it you don't need all that. I have H&R sport spring on stock struts and I have loved this setup for years. I convinced Greg (also a member here) to run the same set up and he also loved it. They are progressive so as you lean into turns they push back really improving the handling but the ride is very stock like as far as bumps and what not.. I do have an bit more aggressive alignment setup but that's up to you if you want to get more of out the suspension and how much you drive. Great place to start and once this gives you the look you're after and you feel the improvements without a crappy ride, you will most likely be satisfied
