Very interested in seeing pics of these mounted! Both front and rears. You say the rears fit well, but are you experience any heavy rubbing, and I don't mean just on the quarter panel...
How is rubbing in the front, shocks hit, turn radius reduced?

BUMP MORE PICS UP

ps Hey dan uk, that sucks about your wrist. I heard you were fast at the last hutch autox, and I was looking forward to seeing your S in SSM ! If you come out feel free to ride with me for a lap.

Eric

Okay, I'll try and be more positive.

It is a very tough and expensive thing to run a Nationally prepped S2000 in SSM.

Lots of things need upgrading as they really don't hold up to the increased grip and power. Honda engineered the setup for street tires and stock power. I wish I had listened to the vets when we really got into autocross and stayed with a stock vehicle. As there aren't many people who really run full prep (there are probably less than five in the nation), there won't be much feedback. If you ever want advice on what will or won't work, please feel free to ask. We've been through about 7 versions of the SSM build, from superchargers to turbos.

We promptly blew two OEM diffs within one year on higher boost (even when only SC'd) when we went to the big grippy tires.
