The wife and I have decided that it is time. I was thinking about just buying a CR, but felt it wouldn't be prudent. I'm excited. I will probably start buying parts in October.

 

hmmmm I think that'll be hotness

 

Are you just doing aesthetic upgrades or a complete overhaul (engine, transmission, suspension, etc.) ?

 

I'm not going to mess with the engine or transmission. The engine and transmission are the normal AP2 transmission anyways. I will be upgrading the suspension and exterior. From what I understand, The spring rates for the CR and AP1 are nearly identical. I may just put my AP1 springs on and by the CR shocks or just keep my Koni Yellow. We'll see. I sent RadioZero a pm asking him some questions. He just recently did this to his. I will be keeping the soft top and interior the same. I will be buying some 17" wheels in white though.

I will be trying to figure out the differences in the AP1 suspension and CR suspension and will go from there.

 

nice project! there was a guy at a trackday who had an AP1 with CR suspension hes on the s2katlanta.com forum.

I think the CR went back to the AP1 steering rack but theres a steering rack stiffenner piece I think

you going to put the Aero kit on it?

 

Spring rates for the CR are 392f/342r, Ap1 is 249f/306r. The shocks for the CR have a good bit more dampening than the AP1 shocks too.

 

After further review, I will be doing the entire suspension upgrade. The CR dampeners are stiffer than the AP1. Yes, I'm doing the aero conversion -the toneau cover and hardtop.

 

I currently have just the CR front springs on MY01, see here for more info ..
