depends on what you're looking for. if you just want it lowered, then the common thing to do with s2k is get Espelir lowering springs, cheap and simple. s2k already come with good shocks so, no need to replace them if you're not racing. if you want height adjustment, then just get Megan Street series or some similar priced coilovers. no need to spend crazy money on a street driven car. the s2k stock suspension is already good from factory. just change alignment and get larger front sway bar if you want to reduce snap over steer. rear bump steer kit also good to have on AP1, especially on bumpy back roads when you doing those spirited drive.

if you want to step up your game a little, KW V3 are great for s2k. i had those on my car and raced on them for 2 years. also great for street driving. Then i got Stance AL+ (which they don't make any more) and they felt better than KW V3 on track. these coilovers run around $2k

you heard truff. get alignment with more rear toe in and larger front sway bar. a rear spoiler also help a lot but you're not racing.

Are they just the regular OE tophats on the rear? Looks like my car did when I had the Teins. Hopefully that will settle some.
