Can anyone tell me if there is a suspension difference from the 2001 vs. the 2000 models?? I have compared my 2000 to 4 2001 models now, and mine is about half an inch HIGHER than the 2001 models. Very odd.

I don't think the spacers are still on... How can I verify this? Can someone post a picture of what they look like?

My friend has a MY2001 and it feels like they took out some of the firmness in the shocks or springs. My MY2000 seems to ride a little more firm. Maybe its just me.

G1S2k:

something's VERY wrong if you're only running 14.8 with all those mods. Try dumping the clutch from 6,000 next time.

You do know thats a Prelude im running 14.8 with right..hehe. That time was done with some bent exhaust valves. Just got the engine rebuilt. Seems that a friend of mine misshifted my car so hard that it slipped the adjustable cam gear on the exhuast cam to +10 degrees. TOO much overlap. Causing the valves to bend slightly. But its pulling waaay better now. All i need now is a ACT clutch and you are right..should be running 14.6 or so.

Des,

For pictures of the shipping spacers go to: http://www.s2000online.com/forums/showthre...p?threadid=1809

They will be located, if still present, between the coils of the springs.

Maybe FAT people are ridding in the '01's to lower them?
