Presidential Detailed: 2007 Honda S2000
This is Radiozero's 2007 GPW here on the forums. He came to me with a beautifly clean car, just had a few swirls..so I thought ok easy job..ehh...Ended up having to use SIP/PFW to cut enough to get all of the swirling out of the car. I followed with PO5rd and the results were fantastic! The car absolutely GLOWS!
just a side story, the car is outfitted with full CR suspension upgrades and 225/255 REO50A's and I was able to take it for a spin after we were finished! I must say I am absolutely IMPRESSED!! I may be going to CR suspension route over coilovers..
Anyways onto the pictures!!

In comparision to the stock s2k suspension to the CR's, is it really that much noticeable in feel/improvement? I just wanted to hear from an actual s2k owner than a dumb salesman at Honda, LOL

Yes, it is a great improvement. But as a Daily, i wouldn't reccomend it. It's semi rough, and the lack of a soft-top sucks ass.

The CR suspension is absolutely better! I would HIGHLY recommend it as a daily driver! Just dont buy the CR, get a base and its about 1400 total for everything the CR has, except you get to have softop, etc.
Kumar, I liked it so much I may actually go with the CR stuff rather than coilovers. The only difference is that I wont be able to slam it..but thats not the look i go for anyhow!
