my espilir springs are slammed in the rear while the front is slightly higher. i like the look better than stock but i wish the rears sat a finger gap higher to make the car even.
Did you preload your fronts? I would preload your fronts and make sure the spring is sitting on the perch properly. How long have you had them on the car?

Then again, someone elses preference and liking might be completely different than others. If there are some threads of people saying (whatever mod it is) is the best mod ever, its good quality and performs awesome. Doesnt mean you will like it, and will perform the same for your liking. Just a thought.

I did my research and found out that it is one of the quieter exhausts out there. I just don't do kindly to drone. Especially when its the worst in the 3k-4k rpm's, exactly the rpms I cruise the freeway with. It was just too much. But my friends' thinking that I took it way out of proportion.

The final verdict boils down to... To each their own!!!

That's why you go to car meets. To see mods you are considering on an actual car and perhaps even get the owner to test it out for you (especially since this thread is mostly talking about exhaust mods).

Definitely CKit.
I kid, he's a great Mod

DC Sports header. The only real benefit to it was that it's lighter than the stock manifold. Aside from that, nothing good about it. I have better things to spend my money on than replacing it though.

I would love to go to car meets and stuff. Just me, and some old lady with a GPW are the only ones with S2000's around here. The closest place anyone has an s2k around me is over 200 miles away. Thats what I get for living in Kansas in the middle of nowhere. You do have to understand that some people cant just go out and get rides in other s2k's to see if they like a part. Plus all the ones even 200 miles away probably wouldnt have the mods that I would like to see.

Any specific reason for this, or just a look you no longer prefer?

there is an easy fix for this.. i bought a ~$20 roll of black vinyl off ebay and recovered the frame... although realized i liked it off better and re removed it lol


as for the mods i didnt like... it was pretty much anything I bought because it was cheap... i finally figured out that paying once for the item you really want is cheaper than paying 3 times for a cheaper part.
