The Neuspeed springs was one of the 1st things I did when I got my car (the springs and the GTU's). Loved them! Didn't make my car feel like a boat, felt a little stiffer then stock. Actually some of the other So. Cal owners got the spring after letting them drive my car.

If you want an even better ride with those springs, when your old shocks go out replace them with some Koni's




Only pics I have of my car witht them on. Those rims are 18's BTW.

yes it is a complete waste of money, even with its relatively affordable price. i tell people to just cut the stock springs instead of neuspeeds, 1/2 joke 1/2 serious.
WOW..maybe the set you got were horrible and werent well developed back then..but i had neuspeed springs and i LOVED them..the drop looks great..AND the ride isnt even that greately affected..in my opinion its a LITTLE bit bouncier than OEM..but thats becuz of the lower drop it gives..but definately stiffens the car up...ive ran canyons with neuspeed springs and compared it to OEM springs..i can definately say Neuspeed springs are an upgrade from OEM springs..but to be honest..i really couldnt tell the difference in Ride quality between OEM and the Neuspeeds..unless you TOTALLY focus on it..

Now telling people to cut stock springs rather than upgrading to neuspeed springs is just plain

even if its just a joke.

fixed your error.

on a serious note, yea, like i said, it was way back, like almost 10 years back.
it was one of the first lowering springs that ever came out for s2000. it was when coil overs didn't even exist for this car. and i remember all the bad reviews it was getting about the ride and handling quality.
they might have revised and updated it, or maybe my memory is just hazy.
if it's good, then it's good.

No I got rid of them along time ago. I went coilovers because I wanted more of a drop.

It NEVER changes. I put a good 40k with the stock shocks and didn't have a SINGLE problem. Once the shocks went out I got coilovers though
