I just bought the same springs from someone who was closing shop. Kg/mm only made 2 types of springs for the S2000 as of late (and I believe they went out of business). They are either Proceed-SS or Proceed-R. The Silver I have are Proceed-SS. If the ones you bought are older versions, I can't be sure of the rates or lowering amount. I don't know which is front or rear, but I am assuming the front are the shorter ones.

Rates of Proceed SS: F= 4.2/7.1; R= 4.2/8.0 kg/mm. They lower the car by 15mm F&R. What I like about these is that even though they are progressive, they are pretty stiff compared to stock non CR models.

I have lowering springs on my car. I don't know what kind they are because the guy we bought it from didn't tell us... But I've noticed now that my tires are worn down that he didn't adjust the camber when he lowered it, so the tires are wearing funny and not making full contact with the ground... Is there a kit I can buy to adjust it or can I just take it somewhere to get it adjusted?

Well from my experiance, s2000's come with a camber kit build in (its not as effective as one you'd buy aftermarket but you can adjust it a little bit) take the car to get an alignment.. If the car is too low than you must buy a camber kit.. Good luck. Take it to a real good alignment place(Good year & Martino suck!) Look up a good alignment shop around your area.. Good luck!
