Evan, they are Blox. Blox Diff collars and Blox half shaft spacers.

I remember my first s2000 being lowered for such a long time, the axles would wobble when i got on it whether it was turbo'd or NA. Apparently, it wore an indentation in the axles and after it being lowered, it rode on the crease of those wear points, causing the wobble. So for preventative maintenance, i just figured I'd get these for now.


But drove around all day and had some fun with it. The car shifts much more smoothly with less drive train slop.

Ahh the joys of keeping my S2000 stock back in the day, I did not know about these issues.

I've definitely learned quite a bit from the first s2000.

I need to drive the S around to make sure the p0420 code is gone, since emissions is due in a week. The p0420 code came back on the truck, but luckily no emissions due yet, so that can wait until it's warmer out before I replace the sensor.
Extension of 3-4 months is easy online, no questions asked. Just did it with the Audi since it was due today now it is due in May.
I do it pretty much every time.

I've seen 3 s2000 in the 2 hours I've been on the road here in southern Orange County. They all have their tops up because it's 55 out lol
