Sixtynine I'm glad of being helpful. I also want to thank you for posting your results so others would have some info on this. I also want to thank you for taking my opinion under consideration , because most of people around this board don't. It seemed to me that every time I posted my point of view nobody really cared. I even asked for ideas on troubleshooting some weird noise (pinging?) when turning hard but no one cared. Maybe I'm not famous enough for this board. I read the posts almost every day but I don't have time to post a lot. But every time I think I can be of any help I would like of feeling free and happy to do so.

Abot our EBD now: I think that our brake balance is already agressive (high rear brake bias) for a street car ,which ads to the character and allows positioning of the car at the entrance of a turn using the brakes. That makes more crucial to compensate for any changes on the height. Most street cars are highly biased towards the front so when lowering ,the compensator is biasing more to rear ,with added bonus a more agressive balance. In our case it probably is too much. I wonder what other fellow owners of lowered S2000s experienced. My car is stock height.

Thanks... for your thanks Greece_S2000!!

Sorry but it seems to me that my car hasn't this problem.
My english is not so good like yours, can you try to explain it to me again in other words?

Yes, it could be helpful at the entrance of a turn but in my car, after I lowered it, it was too much. It could be of course interesting to know the experiences of other people, I posted this thread also for this reason, but in US they have long long straight roads and, probably, they don't know so much about turns!!!

Is it possible (likely) that US spec cars don't have this EBD deal?

It is connected to the lower arm of the left rear wheel by an adjustable little rod, as soon as I can I'll post a photo.
