Default Anyone with Lowered S2000 and Spoon/Regamaster Wheels?

I am considering lowering the S2000 with the Spoon wheels I have in place. I think there will be tire rubbing problem, but I'm not sure if fender rolling and the like will be enough to compensate.

Anyone with experience with this?

Thanks.

Prolene,

This is a long shot but there was an red S2000 owner at Laguna Seca... the only one there that I saw who had the FULL Pinnacle Brake set, SPOON Regamasters, and an Odyssey Dry Cell Battery... and his car looked slightly lowered. Maybe someone else who ran in Laguna Seca knows this person.

After all... Pinnacle Brake Kits are pretty hard to NOT notice.


Who knows...Maybe this person can help you.

Thanks Andrew, but that person be me . The front of my car does seem lowered, but I know of others whose car definitely is lower with the front rubber strakes closer to the ground. The rear of my car could use lowering, even if the front won't be, since the car as is is raked forward for some reason.

Didn't Rich have lowering springs when he had his Spoon wheels? Also the safest bet would be to go coilvover so that you can adjust just enough to not worry about rubbing.

i think they'll rub on the rear, but maybe that can be fixed if you rolled your fender.
