Default Lowering Car

Just wondering, going to put springs on car.. Springs im putting going to drop car about 1 inch. I know the stock camber is adjustable, would 1 inch be ok to keep that or do I have to get an aftermarket camber kit. Thanks

those who have used eibachs to lower 1" have not had to adjust camber...
assume you are keeping the stock wheels?

I heard somewhere that if you change your spring to lower your car and you don't change your shocks, they will not last as long as if you keep standard spings.
Is that true ?
Thanks.

I went with the RS*R Ti2000's (1.4" rear and 0.8" front) and I needed an alignment pretty badly.

It all depends on your car.

By the way, are there any camber kits out for the S2? My dealership still couldn't get it back to factory specs, so I may need one soon!

Our cars don't need a camber kit. The S2000 has a camber adjustment dial that will accomodate any aftermarket spring/coilover setup specific for this car.

I don't think a camber kit exists for the car.

You need to go elsewhere. You shouldn't have a problem getting your car aligned properly with your lowered specs.

$220 is not a bad price. Is that shipped?

220 is the quote I got at a local dealer which ive been doing business with them for a while. Do you recommend dropzone springs.. The eibach only give it a 1 inch drop from what he told me.. Ive heard the dropzone giving around 2 inch drop.. If the camber kit can adjust to that, what do you think would look better... I just dont want to get a 2 inch drop and then see my tires wearing badly. Thanks
