Awesome build, looks like you're doing it yourself? Just in case you haven't looked into it with those brakes and that kind of power you're really going want to weld up your front control arm mounts, preferably box them in. This is probably even more important in your case with the wide body and the added stress that puts on the mounts.

not really sure what power levels i'll be reaching but we will see once its on the dyno
I was worried about the front control arms too. That is why i picked up a set of Spoon Gusset Plate. Also, i'll be putting the s2000 on a rotisserie and reweld up the whole frame to make it a bit stiffer. but thanks Ben for the advice

Perfect, I assumed you had it figured out. I just didn't want to see anything go wrong with such a nice build. I'll be looking into the same wide body kit if I ever get some free time to put my car back together. Be sure to show some fit up pictures and let us know how that goes. I look forward to seeing the rest of this build.
