So why lower it? Look at one from the side and you'll see it. There's still a gap over each tire that the car's proportions don't need. Honda left that room for bad roads and steep driveways, which makes sense for a factory car. But it also keeps the center of gravity a little higher than it has to be. In a car this light and this well balanced, a little goes a long way. Lower weight means less weight shifting onto the outside tires in a corner, and less body roll before the car takes a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH\u0026amp;R's Sport springs bring the S2000 down and close up that gap. The car looks the way most people think it should have looked from the factory. You'll feel it too. Turn-in gets sharper, the body stays flatter through a sweeper, and the car feels more planted at speed. Don't expect it to transform the handling. The S2000 was already one of the best-handling cars Honda ever built, and these springs refine that rather than rewriting it. They're built for the street, so the ride stays livable on a daily driver or a weekend car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Steel Behind It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lowering spring has to hold its height for years. Cheap ones settle. Six months in, the car's lower than you wanted, and it's hitting the bump stops over every big dip. H\u0026amp;R winds these from 54SiCr6, a silicon-chromium spring steel rated at 290,000 psi tensile strength. That's how much stress the steel can take before it gives way. It's strong enough that the springs keep their shape and their height. They're made at H\u0026amp;R's ISO 9001 certified facility in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGet the Alignment Right\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S2000 is sensitive to alignment, and lowering it changes both camber and toe. That matters more here than on most cars. A rear toe setting that's off can make the back end feel nervous when you lift off the throttle mid-corner. Let the springs settle for a few hundred miles, then take it to a shop that knows S2000s and give them your preferred specs. It's the difference between a car that feels sharp and one that feels twitchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need a proper spring compressor to swap the springs on the shocks. If you've never done it, have a shop do it. A compressed spring stores a lot of energy and can do real damage if it slips. While you're in there, check the factory shocks. On a car this old, they may be worn out, and fresh springs on tired shocks will feel bouncy. Reuse the top mounts and isolators if they're in good shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2000-2009 Honda S2000 (AP1\/AP2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008-2009 Honda S2000 CR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2000-2005 Honda S2000 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2006-2009 Honda S2000 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"HR Springs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":69736601845794,"sku":"HRS-51820","price":330.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/16025286.jpg?v=1794339776","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/hr-springs-s2000-sport-lowering-springs-for-honda-00-09","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
