KG/mm Springs..What's the story?
I have been reading that the DR21 Racing KG/mm springs are a very good choice if lowering your car. High quality spring.
A few questions:
How do they compare to the stock spring rates?
How does the car perform on the track?
Can the negative camber be dialed back out if needed for tire longevity?
Is the drop 35mm all around?
Does the car handle better (subjective)?
Bottom line.....will they improve the car's handling?
Any comments and answers to the above questions would be greatly appreciated.

--I'm trying to get this info for both the KG/MM Race and SS springs

Can't answer

Not all of it. If I'm not mistaken 2.9 deg? is the limit.

I've read a lot of posts from people who say that it does. In fact, I haven't read one post that stated that the car becomes tail happy, etc. with the aggressive drop. However, Super Street and other mags that have done tests consistently uncover problems with grip and a tail happy nature.

Austin S2000,
I just received my KG/MM DR21's. Should have them on my S2000 by midweek. I am running 18" Volk LE37T's on T1-S rubber. The drop is 0.69 inches. I will post reply with photos and let you know what I think regarding fitment and ride quality.
