Stock replacement front springs for S2 without lowering?
Is there no one that has new replacement springs for S2?? I'd just like some #200 replacement springs without lowering or needing spacers.

Won't work on an S2, smaller diameter spring.

also watch out for those springs, i bought them, and they were way way way way too short. pelican said that they requires some spacers - 80 bucks.
might as well just get ground control front coilovers for that kind of money. |

Why don't you opt for a pair of (Weltmiester 250 pds) from Automotion,they will only lower your S2 approx 1.5" front which is not extreme.Then you could lower the rear 3/4" by adjusting you camber plates.This will be the most inexpensive way of doing thing.Agree that that ground control front coilovers are nice but it will cost more.

Get a set of used 951 (87+) shocks and Weltmeister springs with spacers. That's exactly what I did. The S2 shocks require a different diameter spring.

I already have new struts installed with the original springs. I still have a lot of roll when cornering. I'm guessing my springs are probably worn out after 250k miles. Control arm bushings are definately worn out, but I have some powerflex bushings ready to be put in. I just need some new 200lb springs that will fit, 250lb might be too harsh for a daily driver. Used suspension parts are out, I've gone that route too often with disappointments.
