[B]I would not recommend using lowering springs and stock shocks with the Spoon wheel setup since the dampening may not be aggressive enough to prevent bottoming out (and hence rubbing the fender) over big bumps and dips.

I know two other S2K owners really well with variations of the setups I have mentioned...

Prolene, when are you going to be done with the springs? I would like to see it. Do you think with the car lowered you could run hoosiers without rubbing?

I found that with the Mugen bar and stiffer springs/shocks the balance with the Kumho 225/245 seems to be better than the 205/245 A032R's that I used to have. Wear patterns from track use are much more even and the car more neutral.. it can be made to under/oversteer in a very controllable way.

I wish I could go 225s, at this point 205s are pushing it with spoon 35mm fronts. I haven't seen rubbing in the rear yet with about 1.5 finger gap running 245/45s. But I get rubbing from the fender liner in the front at about 1 finger gap. I'm using Tein RS Spec coilovers and have the compression and rebound settings at 8/16, 16 being the softest with 10kg springs front and rear. Would you guys think running 205/50s instead of 205/55 help at all?
