Default KW coil-overs Varient 3

Hi guys, I've been watching the TECHNIK S2000 videos on youtube and I decided I'd like some coilovers. My car is currently on eibach springs (unsure of which type) and it just hops about and feels unsafe when I have some spirited driving on the UK roads.
Anyway the question is in the title...I logged onto eBay and was going to purchase these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KW-AUTOMOT...item232d49a5d9

But unfortunately it says they only fit 1999-2003. My chassis does say AP1 even though its '04 reg because it's a UK car.

This is the message I get before checkout:
This item does not fit Honda S2000 2004 AP [1999-2009] Convertible 2.0.

Hope someone would be so kind to clear this up. Also is £1600 a reasonable price whilst I'm here?

Christian, A few guys in the UK have used KW V3s on MY04+ cars (all UK cars are AP1 because they have the 2.0l engine, although the rest of the modifications could be considered "AP2").


Highside has a set of these fitted: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/103...t__p__22651688

Thanks for this info lovegroova. I've been looking at the motorsportworld & the prices are very good so it looks like i'll purchase these saving almost £200 as well!

i don't see why AP1 and AP2 kits should be different.
Tein says Monoflex is good for AP1 only - but it worked no problems on my cars.
the only thing i can think off is a brake line holder - but this is so minor....
