I've always been a fan of Eibach. They have a great product and variation from spring to spring has been shown to be excellent. Their Pro Kit 4043.140 should work for you (1"fr / 1"rr) but you might loose a few mm of the drop given the slightly lighter weight of the CR. In any case, it'd be very close. You might call their tech support if you want to get right on that 1" mark. They may have another spring set that would get you back those couple mm...

 

just got my 08 berlina black cr :-) car is amazing and i LOVE it! il try to put pictures up later this week. this car feels alot dif to me than the ap2s i drove before i bought it, and only in good ways. il try to get a pic up later this week, i just joined s2ki today

 

Yeah, I'm going to run street class. However, my understanding is street class is still a street tire class. I'd prefer to run r-comps.

 

I don't see it anymore either when I'm racing, but I like that I can see it in my videos.

 

I'd be interested. I can see where he's coming from though since Apex Blue is the most rare color.

 

I like the look of the S2000 without the windshield tape...had it off on my AP1. However, I'm concerned the look of Apex blue windshield frame against the berlina hardtop would look a bit off. Could you post pics with and without the hardtop if you get the chance?

Glad to know its still painted under there though

 

Drove down from Chicago to Atlanta in my no-ac/radio. It was interesting. I just listened to the speaker on my mp3 phone. When i put it in the cupholder, the sound reverberates and sounds fuller. I can still hear it well even with the windows open.

No-ac was a bit harsh at times, but I got away with just the fan for a while, then had to go to open windows (70+ degrees with the sun shining right into the car.

My mpg wasn't as good as the last time I drove to Atlanta from Chicago - about 26 or 27 mpg, but my speed varied a bit more (tried to stay at 79 mph but had some stints in the 80's for a time). I got 31 in my AP1 before. I think the aero is hurting mpg, but mpg isn't why I bought the car

 

Did the evolution autocross school on Saturday. Tons of fun and I really got to work out some of my bad racing habits. One of my instructors was Tommy Pulliam who took 4th in AS nationals last year in sirbunz car (right?).

 

Took 3rd in AS for the Atlanta region autox today. Beat by an evo (2 drivers)...I want to find out if they were on R-comps though. The car feels awesome.

 

Today was my first track day with the CR and what a blast it was. It was at USAIR in Shawano, WI. It was cold (41F) and wet for most of the day but the car was fun and challenging to drive. Very different to the AWD turbo cars I'm used to.

Anyway, here's some videos. This was my first time ever driving the S2K 'in anger' so I'm far from driving it perfectly.

This is my second session ever in the S2K (forgot about the camera in my first session) the track was still dry at this point and I filmed it from my front lip mount so it looks like I'm really flying.

This is a little later in the afternoon and my favorite angle. It's filmed from the passenger side fender. Unfortunately at this point the track was pretty wet and the tire threw a lot of water and gunk at the camera.

This final one was also on the wet track and is filmed from the windshield. It's amazing how much slower it looks from a different angle.
