Default CR Compatibility List

Is there a list of CR parts (e.g., springs & sway bars) that will fit earlier models?

The only thing that may not fit is the steering rack stiffeners on yoru AP2. Those are meant for the AP1 steering rack if I remember correctly. Run a search and check that one out.

HardTopGuy.com has everything you need at good prices:

I believe HTG just bought the steering rack stiffeners for his own car. which is a 04 ap2.

I think the deal was that the stiffeners are not recommended for the AP2 steering ratio, not that it's incompatible.

I don't think the CR lip fits on AP1 fronts, just like the AP2 lip doesn't fit.

Suspension bits should be a direct bolt-on to any other S2000 model.

No idea about the additional bracing behind the seats, or the tonneu cover (which requires removing the soft top, anyway.)

My first post in the S forum. (I used the search button to find this topic FWTW) I'm a lurker looking to upgrade my current Honda to an S in a few months when we pay off the wife's TSX.

Has anyone started a part list of unique S-CR parts and what will fit an AP2 car (and maybe AP1).

Reason I would ask is three fold.
1. Not everyone will get a CR even if they want one.
2. I won't be buying one for new for budget reasons.
3. The clone factor, for me specifically it's the roof. The wife will allow an S at the homestead; but it has to be a true soft top car, of which the S-CR really isn't IMO. I guess they are making a CR like version for the JDM market with the soft top system in place, and it will be a type-S version.

I for one wouldn't mind knowing what all needs replace to build such a verison should I choose.

Thanks guys -

i heard that america got the better end of the deal this time around and that the CR is actually better than the type-s. the type s suspension is softer than the cr's

The CR steering rack stiffeners definitely fit the AP2 rack. IIRC there are a few bay area members running them.

Any news if the Deck wing or CR chin spoiler can be ordered in primer for painting to match non-CR trim cars?

Does the stiffner for the steering box benefit a stock AP2 car without the rear cross brace?

deck and chin spoiler can be ordered in CR colors only from HTG. you'll have to get it painted to match your car. i heard the stiffeners throw off the balance of a regular ap2.
