I know that there are many kits out there that really don't benifit the D.D. at all, but for me personally it's just a little too much. My opinion is a little biased though, I'm most definitely more of an Amuse, Tracey, and ASM fan. I do however have great respect for any J's fan!

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.

You need to explain this in more detail. I don't understand how going wide will lower the center of gravity. I can see lowering the car, or mounting the motor lower such as ASM has done, but I'm not understanding how just going wide will lower the COG.

I don't like the swoopy fenders on the the J's. I like the Amuse best and Bulletproof second.

At first I was skeptical and wasnt sure if I liked it much when they showed it in yellow.After seeing this pic and the others i know for a fact...

HOLY HELL THAT LOOKS LIKE CRAP!

I guess if its for a track only car then its "function over form" but if I would see this in the streets I would point and laugh.Love the front bumper but the rest is gross if you ask me.

Too much stuff going on. Why can't a company make a wide body kit that accents the lines of a stock s2k, not resorting to tacky vents and crazy appendages.

I agree with you on the J's kit. I feel like the Tracy Sports Widebody does a fantastic job of having a clean design yet still remaining very aggressive.
