Hey guys, the club is for us, by us. If you want to be able to fully tune your none 06+ S2000 you should just write a letter (email) asking for a proposal like James's or less specific. If enough people have the "me" attitude about a particular subject, it becomes less "me" and more "we"
Seems to me that the current proposal doesn't go far enough for parity for all S2000s despite the fact that they are so similar otherwise.

I'm still in the camp of all or none, but will take any step in the right direction. Yes, I can be a bit selfish.

Anyone need some 800lb springs? I've got a full set of hyperco's that came on my clubsports that I won't be using. I'm more than willing to split the set and also willing to let them go for a more than fair price as I have no use for them.
I'm also willing to trade for 700lb hyperco or swift springs as long as they are 2.5" ID and 5.5"-6" tall.
I figure some of you hardcore autocross guys might be able to make better use of the springs.

Marc, from what I remember the flashed CR you drove at the event was running 0 toe in the rear. This would make it very difficult to put the power down. However, in the tuned cars i have ridden in, rear grip was no more of an issue then in any other ap2.
I have been playing around with Jason Rhoades comparative vehicle dynamics thrust calculations and it has really gone to show me how big the tune is for the car.

No,it's really annoying when people don't think before they post.

So its about time to purchase another set of tires. We have some Toyo's for rain and 255 kooks with about 120 runs.
Couple questions:
When do the kooks heat cycle out? Or will they grip till cords?
Has anyone tried the 245/40 kook? I am leaning towards this for the stretched sidewall and slight gearing improvement. Whats everyones thoughts?

Well, any wheel not on the ground is not helping your traction circle, so I say, not great, but it is a side effect of your setup.
If you have a stiff front and soft rear, this is common. One way to keep this from happening is to use stiffer front springs relative to your front swaybar and/or use the rear sway bar. It's not as simple as this, but generally this should get you in the right direction.
