Google search yielded this, is it really this bad?

Looks like the perfect location for an S2000 to me

The height of the S2000 AST coilovers can be configured from +30mm to -60mm (I guess some other coilovers should be able to raise the height as well)

You guys are LUCKY to live in the country with the roads. Some of the ones we have were fixed last time by Germans in 1943 or so... Unfortunately we've kicked them off too fast so they did not manage to complete their job ((

Roads built by the Germans in the '40s are probably better than the roads built in NJ. They clsoe the roads for months to add 1/8th" of asphalt which cracks about a month later. It's a never ending cycle . . .

It looks like the S2000 would be a terrible car to own there. I think a Jeep/Land Rover is more suited for those "roads".

Sell the S immediately it will not survive that hell. You should invest in a heavily modified jeep or truck, boggers and lockers will be your friend.

Get an STi or Evo for those kinds of roads.

Just to bump my own thread for somebody's information. I've installed the spacers. And the car really came +10 mm higher (I'll post pics tomorrow after wash). But... DON'T DO IT EVER. Driving is softier and crappier. Well... It looks like you drive with the shock always in the highest position (like just after breaking). So it's MUCH softer with just 10 mm of alumunium between shock and body... I'll be removing the spacers tomorrow to improve the handling so I'll keep everybody posted.

Anton, Good Luck bro!
In for updates.

Last time I was in Kiev was back in 2008.
Saw Evos and STIs everywhere. Didn't see any S2000's though.
