Well, any spring will wear the stock shock out faster. This will really be the problem long before "sagging" springs.

It is hard to make comparisons as most people just buy one set and rock those. I have espliers as do quite a few others here. Although they will drop the car more than 1" (more like 1.75")

P&L Motorsports would be a good place to get them installed. One of the guys there, Pinyo has an S2000 and is active on S2ki under the screen name profpin

Send him a PM for a quote on springs and install.

took mine there and Pinyo did the install. Very relax atmosphere, more like hanging out and getting work on your car at the same time. He does an excellent job too.

thanks!like the looks of it. but my main concern is that ones i lower the car with these adj spring the ride would be more bumpy compared to lowering springs. coz most of the adjustable springs are bumpier as you go lower. but if these springs are set to an inch lower got same ride as those of an ich of lowering springs, then i might consider of installing this brand.

Ill give another vote for Espelirs. They will lower you more than 1" but they have a great ride.

Pinyo also did my install (remember that one Pin? )

They are not actually bumpier as you go lower because of the spring. If this happens, the problem is that the shock is not properly valved for the spring rate or the car is so low that it is riding on the bumpstops. Personally, I would never lower a car without getting a properly valved set of shocks at the same time. I recommend Konis. You will get better performance from a set of Konis and Ground Controls than you will from most of the JDM coilovers.
