Default Spoon SW388 w/ KG/MM DR21 Race Springs

Anybody here running the 16-inch Spoon SW388 rims with KG/MM DR21 race springs? I've read a few posts where people suggested NOT lowering the S2000 with Spoon SW388 rims. Any information on this setup is appreciated.

Yeah, I've been talking to turbo_pwr about the setup, and he said anything over a 1-inch drop will create rubbing issues with the Spoon rims (when tracking). The tire sizes are: front - 205/55/16 and rear - 225/50/16.

are you running stock S02?

if i run tires other than stock S02 at the back @ 225/50,

will i get a smaller contact patch?

(i know a lot of people, even with the stock rims, runs 245/45 rear tires other than stock S02. i have 245/45 on my regamasters)

thanks AL, that's good reading

S2Thizzle, what kind of tire pressure are you running?

i am trying to determine what kind of tire pressure for 215/50 & 245/45?

(i assume i should run higher than 32psi for sure, i am currently testing it @33.5 psi front and 32.5 psi rear because of the low in thread at the rear)
