The 2024+ S650 is a sharp-looking car from the factory, and closing that wheel gap makes it sharper. But the S650 is a fresh platform, so lowering it well means picking the right setup and confirming fitment. Here is how to do it.
Quick answer: Lowering springs on matched shocks are the value path. Coilovers cost more but give you adjustable height and often damping, which is the better route if ride quality matters to you.
Springs or coilovers
- Lowering springs: a set drop on your existing or upgraded shocks. Cleaner stance, sharper feel, lower cost. Pair them with compatible dampers.
- Coilovers: set your exact ride height and often damping. More money, more control, the pick when you want to dial in the ride.
What to expect
Any drop firms up the ride and sharpens turn-in. A moderate, quality setup is livable daily. Extreme drops kill travel and ride comfort. We cover that tradeoff in detail in our lowering guide, and it applies fully to the S650.
New platform, extra care
Because the S650 is new, parts catalogs are still filling in and Dark Horse hardware can differ from a base GT. Do not assume an S550 part carries over. See our S650 mod guide for the bigger picture.
Fitment notes and gotchas
- Confirm parts list the S650 and your exact trim, including Dark Horse.
- Get an alignment after install.
- Match springs to compatible shocks, or run a coilover.
