S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

I agree 110%. Do we really need a 3-4 finger gap. BMW's sit nice on the showroom floor.

^^^
Ride height doesn't translate to a better handling car, aesthetically it may look better.

Obviously ride height is not the largest factor in a vehicles suspension dynamics, but as it directly affects the vehicles center of gravity and roll center, there is significant benefit to lowering most vehicles stock ride height to some degree. You could have similar impact by decreasing vehicle sprung weight but on most vehicles, the bang for the buck is better spent on quality lowering springs/dampers/etc. We've all seen too many examples in the tuner car world of lowering gone WAY too far, but this doesn't change the fact that lowering, in moderation, has the potential to improve almost any cars on track performance and, usually, its appearance too.

Have many people tried to pair these with Koni yellows? I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's a very very nice setup and gives you a little bit of control on the shocks.
