    You have shocks...not struts. Coil over shocks to be exact.

    Looks good...but cutting springs changes the rebound/compression rates, adversely affecting the handling of your car that the spring was designed and made to do.

    All the their own, but I wouldn't be cutting mine for any reason.

    well we put the springs on before cutting them, just to let you know they ride the same as of never cutting them.

    this is true for any aftermarket lowering springs for the s2000. They ride the same before and after cutting them. Believe me i am the first one to hate having boogidy suspension set ups however, i purchased skunk2 lowering springs for my S and they rode the same before and after cutting. I have spoken to many people about the factory springs being cut and they have all said the same thing. The car rides the same.

    I too will be replacing my set up for a Full coilover suspension but in all seriousness, i can't tell the difference in cut and uncut set up.
