I'm not a fan of this kit at all, but if someone put it on a dedicated track car I would give them crazy props.
That is always good to hear. Some people don't like certain things, but when they are able to give respect to those who do enjoy different products, that's why I love this community.

Similar to ASM, this kit lowers the center of gravity
Im curious, not being an ass, how does a kit lower the center of gravity?

By widening the overall stance of the car, it makes it more difficult for the car to roll over. This is the easiest example that explains how a car can have a lower center of gravity and how it works.

With the S2000, the wider stance can greatly increase cornering ability as well as down force. IMO two great reasons why a wide body is a great addition.

Thats increasing track. Center of gravity, height wise will not change. Nor will it change from left to right or front to back.

A wider stance can also give you more surface area to manipulate airflow->downforce, but thats a diff. story too.

I like it, but no way in hell would I drop $10,000 on it.

I understand the import costs and everything, but it's still ridiculously expensive just to make your car look like you shipped it straight from Japan and converted it to LHD.

Just my .02. It looks good, it just doesn't look $10,000 good.

<3 how it looks from the front.

On a race/track car, I can totally see the benefit of having this kit. For street use? Too aggressive for me
