There was one guy that I remember had done it... it was about two pictures of a SLAMMED s2k in silver IIRC... I would have to say it would be custom as the s2k isn't a typical car that is airbagged...

I would really advise against it... but if it's just a show car and you don't like twisties then it's up to you

The reason im asking is because I wanna go low but have the option to go stock in seconds. Is there bags that just take the place of your springs or Im I totally making that up?

You'd rather have a sports car that goes up and down than a sports car that handles well? Odd.

Sorry I have never looked at kits so i am unsure... best to just research up on normal kits... go from there. May be a way to adapt other Honda air ride kits for the s2k...??

I would advise against it.. perhaps get the KW coilovers with the special lift system... flick of a switch and it raises the vehicle by 35mm... enough to get over nasty bumps while leaving the good handling...

Probably wants more of a show car that can get over speed bumps/ not attract popos.

Eithier way, OP i think the airsusp takes place of a part of the springs - no way will it take the place of the entire spring. ALso, i noticed air susp cars seem to ride bouncy when up - be careful cuz twitchy s2k + bouncy susp sounds like a bad combo to me if you take it near the edge.

Very true... airbags basically mean the car cannot be driven fast on bends.... obviously you can before anyone jumps on my back... but the entire performance of the car will be shot!

good luck getting the kit up and running... look forward to progress



Not too bad price either for the umbrella version of the coilover spacer inflatable thing.. wanted to find something like this for my car in the future... just makes everything so much easier... never again when I go for a girl at her house will i turn the corner and just see hell in the form of square speed bumps everywhere

I had to check to make sure the address bar said "s2ki" and not "honda-tech"

My friend w/ a VIP car has air suspension. It handles like a boat now but he can go low. I actually suggest just going with the cups if you want to go low. Cups and some coilovers are the best imo.
