my opinion

the stock caliper and rotor are pretty good. all u need are race brake pads.

drivetrain list: i wouldnt do any of it unless its to replace whats broken

exterior: spoon diffuser

interior: either bucket seat will work as long as it holds you firmly

intake/exhaust: j's racing header and j's 70rr, spoon snorkel for stock intake box and do intake box mod

suspension: the s2000 is stiff as is and those bars doesnt really do much.

the other stuff is not really needed. save your money for more seat time. but if you have money to blow on those parts. sure why not

if you get a tri shaped tower strut it might hit your j's intake i saw a guy that had both and it was pushing his intake down.

J's makes a throttle body. Why use the Spoon?

Also the J's heatshield has the WORST fitment of any part over made by any company for an S2000. There are numerous places where it just doesn't fit and if you cut it up to put it on, good chance it will vibrate against your header anyways. Personal experience.

To have a civil discussion over a couple points in this opinion:

(1) The 70RR is loud as balls. Only get it if your car is not driven daily, or driven on long trips, and you're wearing a helmet when you're driving. It's loud enough to damage your hearing.

(2) The Spoon intake snorkel does basically nothing. When I had it, I felt no difference. When I took it off, it did feel like I could've lost a little bit of hp at speed, but I think it was b/c I replaced the Spoon filter with the stock filter at the same time. I put a K&N filter in the stock box, and I guarantee that it makes more power than the Spoon snorkel did, there are dynos all over this forum that prove it.

no prob. everyone has their own opinion

1) deafening: yes i had only the megan 2.5" and every time i take off my helmet from a track session i hear a buzzing and cant hear what people are saying for like a minute

2)i dont know. my j's racing replica snorkel works. i'm not saying its gains or loses hp but when i put my hand in front of the snorkel and i press open the throttle body assemly a lil bit. i feel air getting sucked in. yes i have long arms
