How about the worst part I never got but got screwed on. I ordered an 04-05 painted valve cover from s2carbonworks, paid for the part and a core charge for my cover. They sent me an 06+ cover instead. I had to pay shipping back to them. They then sent me an ap1 valve cover , and I got stuck shipping it back at my cost because they had full payment and my core charge. Then they sent me a third cover that was an ap1 valve cover again !. I shipped it back to them again at my cost. I told them to keep their cover and refund my money I was fed up with their antics. They even suggested that I use an ap1 cover instead of an ap2 cover and I just needed to buy a new pcv valve for it, I couldn't believe how arrogant they were about the whole thing. It was totally their mistake they would not cover my shipping costs on the 3 covers which was 120 dollars. They had the nerve to complain to. Me about the money they lost shipping me 3 wrong valve covers. It took forever to get a reply from them on my refund because they were busy "racing" and I had to wait for them to return from their adventures to get my money back.

S2carbonworks are the biggest dicks in the aftermarket vendor market, total jerkoffs and arrogant pricks.

 

agreed!!! I'm glad I got on this site before I started modifying my S!!!

 

i guess it just wasnt what i was looking for. the ride was just not comfortable to me. also had a problem with bump steer and the springs were annoying to set every time i jacked up the car(a few times it did not sit properly). i ended up switching over to kw v3's

 

Could you share your experience and elaborate on why the Spoon calipers sucked? I am very curious since this is one the mods I am actually looking forward in doing...

thanks in advance.

 

Worst mod for me is I would have to say when I owned my first S, for some God awful reason I decide to buy a Buddy Club Spec III exhaust then mated it with a Berk 63.5 mm test pipe, then daily drove it for a few months. The only good that came out of that exhaust is I couldn't hear my girlfriend at that time whenever she tried to yell at me.

As for my new S, I have a love hate relationship with the Greddy Ti-C exhaust, it sounds great but I plan on going back to the stock AP2 exhaust tomorrow.

 

How long ago was this? Replacing an AP2 valve cover with an AP1 is one thing you do NOT want to do. The original PCV valve design is believed to be one of the major causes for the whole AP1 oil consumption issue. I hope they realize this now.

 

That's exactly right, I couldn't believe the mentality of these guys, yet they claim to be Honda experts and continue to actively post on s2kca.com promoting their goods. They would rather me take an inferior valvecover rather than have to send me the correct one. I believe this all happened late fall 2010 or early winter 2011 time frame. The worst vendor experience of my life and I've been ordering parts from vendors for 20+ years.

 

A 6 puck clutch. Useless and super annoying for the modest amount of power I have. Switching back to an OEM disc this week, can't wait!

 

-NRG short hub, caused my VSA and Traction control light to come on. I have it up for sale.
-APR carbon fiber cooling plate. Caused the bumper to push out and have a bigger gap and didn't fit right. Its also up for sale.
-probably other stuff I need to update on here.

 

PasswordJDM Intake. It might have made power (not sure, never dynod it), but I had lots of fitment issues which were a headache. After I decided to not cut my hood I sold it. Major gripe: if an intake costs that much $ it should fit like OEM.
