Talking New Member/Suspension Questions

Hey Everyone,

I recently purchased an S2000. I have put 18" rims on it and am looking to lower the suspension. I have Tein S springs which will lower the car about an Inch. Will the car rub??? Will I have issues when i drive on the hwy with my wheels hitting the body on heavy bumps??

Need some advice and maybe what other people have done or experienced to help me decide on if i should put the springs on or not??

Id REALLY like to reduce that gap between the wheel and body but i cant afford coilovers right now??

Thanks

Depends on what diameter and offsets your wheels are but i highly doubt it. I had those springs before and they do not lower the car that much. You should be fine

I'll put the lip on after the winter, The car is parked for the winter. I wouldnt drive it in the winter. But Stock just wasn't doing it for me.
