some question for coilover and frame
unles you get it straightened out it wont ever drive the same..and since S2Ks are known for spinning, with almost nothing wrong except maybe a few PSI's off on tire pressure, I wouldn't chance it with a bent frame.

[QUOTE]X-Bone frame chassis
The S2000 has no scuttle shake, that bane of soft tops, because it uses what Honda calls an X-bone frame. (see picture). It's extremely rigid chassis, the centrepiece of which is a box-section central tunnel. From it, two diagonally projecting arms at the front connect to side rails and support the rear of the engine. Also two diagonally-projecting arms at the rear are fixed to a rear transverse rail. The diagonal arms and central tunnel form the X-bone shape.
The top of the centre tunnel and the front and rear longitudinal rails form a horizontal plane; these components are all at the same height. This height -- the centre line rigidity height -- is said to be at the same height as the centre-line rigidity of closed roof
Fix the frame.
Safer for you, And you'll keep this car running/ handling the way it was built too.
Btw: before i got coilovers i also noticed that my left side (passenger) sat just a little bit higher , but i dont have frame damage lol
but yeah just get it done the right way
ps. You bought the car for a STEAL right? i think i remember seeing it for sale, just drop
a little more cash , its worth it.
