Add real power, add a sticky tire, and launch it hard enough and they become the thing that ends your day. Driveshaft Shop's X4 line is built from 300M with their best heat treat processes, rated to handle 700 to 1000 wheel horsepower depending on application. The set includes axle spacers, which matters more on this car than most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpacers Are Included, and You Probably Want Them\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost S2000s are lowered, and lowering changes the angle your axles work through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt stock height the axle sits at a modest angle between the differential and the hub. Drop the car and that angle increases, which means the inner joint is working through more articulation than it was designed around and the axle is effectively operating closer to its limits at rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included spacers correct for that, restoring a working angle closer to what the axle wants. On a lowered car that means less strain on the joints, better articulation through suspension travel, and considerably less chance of binding at full droop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your car is at stock height you may not need them, but having them in the box means the decision is yours rather than a separate order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Rear-Drive Axles Fail Differently\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a front-drive car, axles fail gradually. The CV joints wear, you get a click on turns, and you replace them before anything dramatic happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn an S2000 the failure is more abrupt. These axles don't steer, so there's no articulation wearing them out over time. What kills them is shock loading, and that arrives all at once on a launch or a hard gear change with the tires hooked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why material strength matters more than wear resistance here. You're not protecting against gradual degradation, you're protecting against a single event that puts more torque through the axle than it can take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e300M Is Why It Holds\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e300M is a high-strength alloy used where failure isn't an acceptable outcome. Combined with Driveshaft Shop's heat treat processes, it's what lets these survive the shock loading that snaps factory axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAxles fail in torsion rather than bending, so material strength through the bar determines whether one survives a hard launch on a prepared surface. That's where the 700 to 1000 wheel horsepower range comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt For Cars That Do Both\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDriveshaft Shop engineered the X4 line for fast street cars that visit the track for drag, road course, and autocross duty. That's a demanding category, since the axle sees daily driving loads, launch shock, and sustained cornering load in the same week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn an S2000 that's nearly always the profile. These cars get driven, and the ones making serious power are rarely trailer queens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDirect Bolt-In\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo hub change, no modification, no adapting anything. These go in where your factory axles came out, which keeps the job straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNon-Refundable After Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce installed these can't be returned, which is standard for driveline components at this level. Confirm your application before ordering rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCheck Your Range Of Motion After Install\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce fitted, cycle the suspension through full travel and check that the inner joint isn't bottoming out at compression or over-extending at droop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth doing whether you fitted the spacers or not, since it's the check that tells you whether your specific ride height and setup are working the axle correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2000-2009 Honda S2000 (AP1 and AP2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart number 510156 \/ 510157.

Forced induction, a built F-series, or a car that launches hard on real tires. The included spacers mean a lowered car is sorted properly rather than running axles at an angle they don't want. Bolt them in, check your travel, and stop worrying about what's behind the transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000-2009 Honda S2000. \u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 510156 \/ 510157. \u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 to 1000 wheel horsepower depending on application. \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300M bar and splined stub, chromoly CV housing. \u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e axle pair and axle spacers. \u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 year. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e non-refundable after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e2000-2009 Honda S2000\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Driveshaft Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603392479266,"sku":"DSS-510156-510157","price":1737.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/DSS-510156-510157_jco6.png?v=1789486928","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/driveshaft-shop-700-hp-x4-axles-00-09-honda-s2000","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
