My s2000

Been interested in VIP cars for awhile, currently i own a 03 s2000, looking to buy a LS430 in the near future. Let me know what you guys think. Im debating to do air ride, but i feel its almost wrong to do that to a s2000. Any helpful feedback is appreciated.

Damn, nice car dude. Bag it, who cares if it's unethical. You don't track it, do you? I want to see it on bags, that would be awesome.

Well I can understand not wanting to scratch the lip.
All the dumped ones I see here don't have kit's
IMO don't need one especially when they look so good on the ground....

sick s2k! If you don't track it anyway and built it for the style/looks, it doesn't really matter if you put it on air. However, if you think you might be selling it soon, the air might take away a lot of possible sales because something tells me S2k people won't be as receptive to it as the folks here - plus that money could be saved for the air you'll probably want for your vipcar, and your s2000 already has a pretty badass stance on the coils.

I agree with adding a cup kit. You get the same functionality as coilovers but you can still raise it up for bumps and stuff.

When your fitment is right and you set up your suspension right, there's no issues. I had all adjustable arms. Tires were only stretched enough for clearance at low ride height. I ran my coilovers at max rebound and max compression with custom higher spring rates front and rear. It rode hard, but had great "feel" control to it. I also had adjusted the TR's for max steering angle.

if u got the money, why not. its not a question of ethics...there are no ethics really when it comes to building a car.

but to be honest, your car looks so freakin low already. the front lip is like an inch from the ground and you want to go lower?

or did u just want the convienince of being able to raise your car and drive normal anytime u want, then slam it when you want?

thats why i got air suspension, i got tired of stopping and slanting up driveways.
especially around here where all the guys drive lifted trucks and tailgate your ass and honk. lol



oh and sick car btw man. what wheels do u have and whats ur specs?
