Well I guess that brings me back to my original question.

Can I lower my car? Or am I going to rub?

if you have 225/245 you are ok. next time put that in your first post.

discount is right. if you go lower you will or could run into rubbing without aligment and or rolling your fenders depending how low you go.

You can lower the car and you shouldn't be even close to rubbing with those tire sizes. 225 front and 245 rear is acceptable IMO, much better than 205/225.

That's the description on these, I guess that's what they do?

"Description
RS*R Ti2000 Lowering Springs Honda S2000
Drop = 0.8" F and 1.4" Rear
RS*R Ti2000 lowering springs"

I suppose seeing I have bigger tires in the back it won't even out? xD !

Actually, you have slightly smaller tires in the back. Sometimes the lowering spring drop advertised is generic and not model specific.

This thread is getting worse and worse.

45 series tire is taller than a
40 series tire.

245= width 40 or 45 = height 17= wheel size.

Listen, I don't understand what your problem is with me, but you don't need to make me feel like i'm an idiot because I'm not as knowledgeable as some about this kind of stuff ok?

I'm looking for help, not criticism.

If this thread is so bad just stop posting in it, alright?

Does look a bit saggy in those pics. I really hate how it looks when the rear is lower than the front. Other way around looks much better imo.
If you want a moderate drop I would just get some Eibach Pro Kit springs and call it a day.
