i am saying the when you install any springs/shocks on the S2000 you need to put a load on the suspension before you tighten all the bolts completely.
my 2007 with CR suspension parts sits about 1/8" higher in the front than it did with stock 2007 parts. the rear sits the same as stock.
i put a load on my suspension prior to torquing the bolts to spec.
i had a CR owner measure his CR height and it was the same as a regular S. so maybe my car will settle down an 1/8" over time but i doubt it.

[QUOTE=Keguta,Mar 18 2008, 10:06 AM]Thanks, Old Guy! I just drove 1200 miles in two days in my CR, and I'm ready to do it again.... my threshold for anything is pretty high while grinning ear to ear. :)

Keguta,
Thanks for this info.
I've been shopping this month. The last dealer I visited was Rock Honda in Fontana. They had a Black w/ ac + radio and a yellow w/o ac + radio. As to price, they were talking about MSRP plus . . . .
My question to you, Keguta, is: How many miles were on your car when you drove it off the dealership lot? Also, could you check your driver's side door sill and tell us the date of manufacture (month and year)?
Many thanks & Good luck.

I got mine for $ 500.00 off of list, however, mine was one of the first ones. Others have gotten much better deals right now. If not discounted, then extra stuff thrown in. Go to Ebay and check there as well. I have seen some dealers trying to get rid of theirs at some great deals. If for no other reason, print it out and take it to your dealer. Ask them if they want to continue to pay floor plan or sell it to you at a fair price?? Good luck with the search.

tlr9, good deal on the Berlina CR. And nice garage floor! What brand of race deck is that? Did you install it yourself?
Marrk, it had 4 miles on it when I test drove it, I put 15 on it during the test drive, so title says 19 on the odo. I'm pretty sure I'm the only test driver. It was in the showroom and they had to move cars to get it out.
They have a GPW CR there now... salesman said they traded another dealer for it, the other dealer had it a while and thought he wasn't going to move it. I did not check to see if it had AC/radio. GPW with black hardtop looks rather panda-like to me. Doesn't have the hard edge of all BB.

Marrk,
I am enroute to Alaska, the CR is in the secure vault, surrounded by cyborg pit bulls owned by Bubba, who sits there 24/7 with his shotgun.
(Bubba is unemployed.) I'll have to check the door jamb for MFG date for you when I return.
