    theyre stock wheels painted black. OP hows the ride? bouncy at all? and i agree with some of the ppl here, very pointless to cut aftermarket springs. more reasonable to cut stock springs.

    Everyone has learned in their past experiences on suspension, DO IT ONCE AND DO IT RIGHT. DONT CHEAP OUT ON SUSPENSION!!!

    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.

    well, good luck with that. Did you install driveshaft spacers, or just drop it?

    im just going to call it now... you are the dumbest MOFO for cutting lowering springs. should have cut your stock springs and if it didnt workout put the lowering springs on. so you have some sort of drop. but now you just fucked it all up. should have just got coils if you wanted to go lower. and if you cant afford coils you cant afford a serious drop. dumbass


    and yes collins you throw your suspension geometry out the window with just about any drop.

    yeah because im a hater.... a hater for doing things half assed and rice. which usually means ricearoni, craptacular and other things along these lines. and cutting springs falls along these lines. and a double dumbass for them being aready lowering springs. if all the springs for a s2k ride the same at regular height why didnt you just cut the stock springs and not the lowering springs? its called logic... ricers dont have it.

    qft...if you're going to cut your springs you should have just cut the factory springs or else get the right ones

    Doing stuff half-assed = rice. Please don't rice out an s2k





    Looks good though.
