Does anyone have the Skunk2 Lowering Springs?

They are new for the s2000 I believe, and advertise them to lower between 2.25-2.5 inches which is the lowest for any s2000 springs I have seen yet.

They are fairly priced at $185 for a set, plus shipping.

Is that setting 1.25 in the front and 1.5 in the rear? They should both be the same size if not having a lower setting for the front. The wheel gap in the front is bigger than the rear. I have B+G springs in my car and the front wheel well is larger than that of the rear's.

I had Skunk2 coilovers on my Civic Si and I thought they were pretty decent for the price. But then again, those were coilovers, AND for a Civic.......so pretend I didn't say anything.

So could I buy a set of lowering springs, say 1 inch lower than stock height, like the Skunks or something else and not have to buy a set of shocks since the factory's are firm enough already?

I think the B+G springs drop the car perfectly. The ride quality is same as stock.
