Cool, good luck Dylan.

 

Your absoluetly correct with your assumption, reason being is all of my Hondas have had a 2+ inch drop and not one has had a premature driveshaft failure or any failure for that matter and I have driven across country like that on thousands of miles of uneven roads, driven it hard, etc. So although Hiper is sounds good in theory, it does not hold water on actual real life experiences with the cars I have been through which is over 5.. Maybe a few yes, but not everyones car..

A few of my friends that are over 3 inches have never had any problems either.. So as long as your not a crazy man with your car you should be fine without these.

 

I understand it's not concrete, but given an average Honda drivetrain will last atleast 200K miles, I think ones with the added stress I talk of might only last half that. How the car is driven, tires used, and overall dynamics of the car and it's setup will influence this stress as well. My main theory is to be safe, spend $200 with the idea of saving $1000+ that a new diff. might cost. The S2000 doesn't have the most bulletproof diff., so I wouldn't chance it.

 

Very true too. I was thinking a safe window of at least 90000-100000 miles at that drop. I am at 65000 and going good.

 

I got 82k on my 01' and had gone through 3 cv joints mostly from track days. I would recommend these for any lowered car. I haven't had any problems for the last 15k miles and my s is lowered about 2inches daily driving.

 

Am fitting them anyway.
