Default what are some good lowering springs

I am about to put volk te-37 17" on my s2000 and I have to lower it a little to get rid of the gap. So what is a good spring which will lower the car and give me a good factory feel ride?

I dont know from my own experience, but after reading up, Ive made up my mind that I will be going with the Espelir springs, the ride is supposed to be a little stiffer then stock, and it is a 1.3" drop all the way around.

Do it right the first time, get some coilovers. If that's not what you want, an Eibach Prokit + Koni Yellows would be a cheaper alternative giving improved handling along with the required height drop.

I am running KG/MM Race springs and they work great. Also have them coupled with koni yellow shocks.

am running eibachs... bout an inch drop with very stock feeling ride.
be sure to get the car aligned for aggressive driving after doing the springs.
i was told that i will need to replace the stock shocks soon with different springs, but am not seeing any problems with the stock shocks.

I made the mistake of just doing springs. Now I have to take it all apart again to put on some Koni Yellows.

Don't make the same mistake, unless you wanna do it twice.

(I think the Eibachs are a little softer at the limit - just my feel)
