On a Civic, an Accord, an\n  Integra, the factory suspension was a compromise, Honda tuned it soft because somebody's mom was going to\n  drive it to the grocery store. Not here. Honda didn't compromise on the S2000. They put the engine behind the\n  front axle to get 50:50 weight distribution, hung double wishbones on all four corners, built the X-bone\n  frame to make a convertible rigid, and then actually tuned it like they meant it. Your suspension was never\n  the weak link. So why touch it?\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTwo Honest Reasons\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  First, because yours is old. The newest AP2 is pushing twenty and the early AP1s are twenty-five, and factory\n  dampers don't last that long no matter how good they were when they left Japan. If you've never driven an\n  S2000 with healthy suspension, you genuinely don't know what your car is supposed to feel like. That\n  vagueness you've made peace with isn't the design, it's wear.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Second, because Honda had to pick one setup and you don't. The factory tune is a compromise between a Sunday\n  canyon road and a Tuesday commute, and it's a good one, but it's fixed. With 30 clicks of compression and\n  rebound on a single knob, you get to choose which car you're driving today, about ten seconds a corner. On a\n  chassis this communicative you feel every click, this isn't a car that swallows the difference.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e10 Front, 10 Rear, And Why That's The Whole Story\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Look at the rates: \u003cstrong\u003e10 kg\/mm front, 10 kg\/mm rear\u003c\/strong\u003e. Equal. Now look at every other Honda kit\n  BC builds, 9 front and 4 rear on an EG, 9 and 3.6 on an Accord, 6 and 9 on an EP3. They're all lopsided,\n  because those cars are all lopsided, nose-heavy front-drivers that need to be sprung to compensate.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Your S2000 is the one Honda that doesn't need compensating. 50:50 means both ends are carrying the same\n  load, so both ends get the same spring. That's not BC taking a shortcut, that's BC reading the car\n  correctly. And 10 kg is the stiffest rate they spec for anything Honda-badged, which tells you what they\n  think this chassis can handle. It can handle it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eRead This: There's No Conservative Version\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Straight talk before you order, because this kit is different from most of the BR range. It comes in Extreme\n  Low only. There is no standard-drop option to fall back on.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  That matters more on an S2000 than it would on almost anything else, because your car already sits low from\n  the factory. Wound all the way up, this kit puts you roughly 2 inches below stock, and that's its \u003cem\u003ehighest\u003c\/em\u003e\n  setting. All the way down you're around 4 inches below. So if you were picturing a subtle drop that keeps\n  your driveway experience intact, be honest with yourself now rather than after it's installed. If you want\n  the car properly down and you're prepared to think about approach angles for the rest of your life, this is\n  exactly what you're after.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eRS Type Top Mounts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This set uses RS type top mounts, which mount with rubber. On a car you're actually driving, with the roof\n  down, on real roads, that's the right call, the rubber isolates road noise and vibration instead of piping\n  every impact straight into a chassis that's already stiff and already talkative. You get the adjustability\n  without the S2000 turning into something you need earplugs for.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt To Be Kept\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Mono-tube shocks with a linear piston and damping curve, so damping stays predictable through the whole\n  stroke rather than getting strange at the extremes. Backed by a 2-year warranty against manufacturer defect.\n  And they're fully rebuildable, which matters on a car you're clearly not selling, when they wear out down the\n  road, you refresh them instead of buying another set. If you want to deviate, custom spring rates, Swift\n  springs, and custom valving matched to your rates are all available.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBC Racing BR Series coilovers for the 2000-2009 Honda S2000 (AP1\/AP2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtreme Low only, approximately 2 inches below stock at the highest setting and about 4 inches at the lowest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 kg\/mm front and 10 kg\/mm rear spring rates, matched to the S2000's 50:50 balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRS type top mounts with rubber mounting to cut noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 clicks of simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight adjustment independent of spring compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMono-tube shock design with a linear piston and damping curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustom spring rates, Swift springs, and custom valving available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully rebuildable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-year warranty against manufacturer defect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2009 Honda S2000 (AP1 and AP2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: Available in Extreme Low only; there is no standard-drop version of this kit.
