Pretty sure there have been other S2000's that have run Hydraulics around here...especially if you go a few years back.

...they just never admitted it (as you can probably see why).

Do what you do. I still don't understand why "because I want to" and "for looks" aren't good enough reasons to do something to your car around here.

All BS aside, do you have any photos of your setup? I have literally no idea how hydraulic suspension would work on an S2000. Would be pretty neat to see how it all works!

Because you're only cool if you track your car, no exceptions.

Not when your build compromises the handling of the car and you drive on public streets.

PS: OP, replace the straps on your top, or at least push the middle bar back when lowering it.

Anyone that drops their car on any kind of suspension without correcting geometry appropriately (i.e. RCAs, etc) is "compromising their handling" as it removes the entire car from the specs it was designed for.

That statement is rather broad without specific metrics.
