true, but the S2k shocks are built better than say a civics shocks and can handle at least an inch drop. most aftermarket springs companies have directions to tell you to cut some of the oem bumpstops off so the travel of the shock is not that limited.

Still a ghetto mod IMO. Most spring only changes result in a harsh ride, shorter shock life, and worse performance. I've seen too many lowered S2000's that aren't real functional traveling at a decent clip on Hill Country roads.

My Miata is lowered a couple of inches, but w/ no reduction in suspension travel.

why don't you get PSS9's they won't slam your car but, at least you're not going in the opposite direction and those seem to be in your budget.

i plan on getting rid of Buddy clubs and upgrading to kw3's in the near future.

Yeah, but you have them on stock springs, and they're worth almost as much as the rest of your car!
