Default Strut bar

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-S2000...=item35aa7f1d49

Looking to get this one but im not sure if it would fit because it only has 1 drilled hole. Does anyone have it and if so how does it fit?

Hmm, it might have the other hole, might just be how the pic was taken so you cant see them. I would just get one that you are 100% sure on.

u can get a better looking one. they all do nothing for the car but a good place to lean on. dont get it. but if u do really want one, get one that everyone used before. go to the best ebay parts thread. ur in the right section. just look down a few threads. it should be there.

Don't get that one. Get this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...21#ht_500wt_956

It looks like the Tanabe one but in polished instead of red. I'm very happy with it.

Oh yeah, and make an offer of $19. They'll take $19 + shipping.

im sorry but i have to laugh at that and say do not go with Number one brand strut bar unless you want more people to laugh at you when you pop the hood lol i bought a $20 "universal" strut bar similar to the number one brand but it had fake carbon fiber vinyl on it and it was a complete waste. ya it fit but looked ridiculous you can get a decent strut bar for $50-100 and personally i think its worth the money just like ans2k said it doesnt do jack for performance its mostly for "LOOKS" and something to lean on you dont want a POS

i suggest this megan racing one since megan has a reputable name but heres some others as well

if you're going to get one, get one that is a solid piece. when a chassis flexes, when the bar has bolts the bar will shift.

this one would be my recommendation for ebay bars:

Don't buy a Megan Racing one, they're made cheap. I had one on my Prelude and one of the brackets bent and it was PITA to get off.

I keep hearing that they do nothing on s2k's. You do have a reasonable excuse though; a lot of bracing already. But I have to ask, how are you guys putting these on? The whole front end should be off the ground when you tighten these down all the way and adjust them; same for the rear. The reason for this is so the suspension isn't loaded. Also they should be adjusted so all of the force is going out(<-->) not in(>--<).
