Effects of facelift wheels on 02 S2000

[havoc]

R32 GTR?!? Nice...

Think you'll probably get on just fine with the S then...although I'd suggest geometry adjustment as one of your first moves...

You're probably right. My mind has been made up now anyway!!

Thanks for your help.

The Elise boys swear by Nitrons...think they've been mentioned on s2ki a few times...worth checking out...there's people who know more than me on there...

So do I on my 05 S2000!
But then it is not ordinary as you know
You can just put a decent set of coilovers and a geo on the make a difference to the S's handling. IMHO It is the one area Honda made compromises!

Hi there - I have an MY03 with the 17'' MY04 wheels and ignoring the aesthetics, it also sharpened up the front end and generaly made the car more responsive - for some that may be a bad thing as the MY04 suspension is softer and my car has become less forgiving (all things being relative) - but I love it.

Awesome, thanks for that.

Unfortunately having a spot of bother shifting the CRX so the S will have to wait a bit longer.

[MrFlibbles]

I want the CRX

No £££ though!

[billysan]

CRX sold!!

Now to start S2000 hunting!!

[havoc]

Nice one!

Good hunting...and check the suspension adjustment bolts out before buying if at all possible...

[billysan]

You dont think it would be a bit off to turn up to view a car with a socket set under arm only to start spannering away at the suspension?!!

Dont get me wrong, I would if I could. It just seems a bit cheeky!!

[havoc]

Yes...agreed.

Worth asking the owner though if they've done anything about it / checked it (if they've been greased in the last 2-3 years then it should be no problem at all). If not and it's >2y.o., then I'd probably do it as a last-minute check before putting a deposit down (or as a condition of sale when giving deposit?).

Even under Mfrs warranty Honda have only replaced them if the bolt has failed with the suspension OUT of alignment!!! As for after-market warranty...you've more chance of becoming PM!!!

I found that out to my peril a few years ago with an MR2!!
