The body shop asked me if I wanted to powder coat the factory rims instead of buying new ones. Well that got me thinking. I love the style of the AP2 rims so maybe I will just change the color a little. Any ideas? Pics and advice will be appreciate any and all. ]]> Wheels / Tires / Suspension will williams http://s2000.com/forums/wheels-tires-suspension/10194-powder-coating-my-rims.html eibach or Tanabe Springs ? http://s2000.com/forums/wheels-tires-suspension/10170-eibach-or-tanabe-springs.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:33:02 GMT I am looking into lowering my s2 about an 1" which spring is better for all around Driving Comfort with occasional spirited driving ?

If you guys remember, I have several threads on how my car pulled to the left during acceleration. I said what my setup was and people immediately blamed it on what I also thought was the problem. My rears tires were different brands and the right tire was brand new while the left one was about 30% tread. Most people told me to change the tires but i cant afford tires so i didnt. I wanted to be 100% positive it was my tires before spending money on them. I got an alignment thinking it was that and nothing changed. I made sure everything was correct. The alignment tech guy also checked all my suspension and said it all checks out. My last option was tires. So yesterday i wanted to see if my aunts IS300 wheels would fit on mine and since they are all equally worn out, i should see if that fixed my problem. It didnt fit so i was stuck again. I finally came up with an idea and dont know why i hadnt thought about this before. I was gonna switch my rears for the fronts for 5 minutes to see if that fixes it. My front 2 are worn out evenly and still, cheap tires. I had nothing to lose and did this. I knew they would fit because another member on s2ki was running 245's all around. I took it out for a drive on local mountains and COMPLETELY fell in love with the car all over again. When people would say this car handles Godlike, i didnt understand why because mine didnt. Wow, does this car handle. Its so planted and more stable now. Im keeping this setup until i can afford new tires. Its VERY ass happy now but we all love that 8). I cannot imagine how great this beast will handle with star specs all around.

From my experiences, although im very young compared to the rest of you guys, this car is EXTREMELY sensitive. Any small thing will definitely throw it off. Now i have started a savings account for my new tires.

Sorry for the long write up but im hoping it might help someone else who is also in my position. ]]> Wheels / Tires / Suspension JDMHonda http://s2000.com/forums/wheels-tires-suspension/10167-car-pulls-to-left-now-fixed.html Wheel Fitment http://s2000.com/forums/wheels-tires-suspension/10165-wheel-fitment.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:30:46 GMT I had a question about a particular wheel model, and whether or not they would fit on the S2000 (I bought an 01 recently and I'm looking at possible future mods)
The wheels are the Enkei RP03s, and I was thinking in the 17x8 in the front and the 17x9.5 in the rear. If I was to do that I would probably drop it at the same time on Eibach Pro lowering spring kit.
My question is whether those wheels would fit without any major modification or issues.

This has been going on since day one and doesn't happen at high speeds so I've never checked it out as a real problem. Still it is a little disconcerting when it happens. I finally decided that it may have something to do with ruts in the road. Asphalt pavement usually ruts more at intersections. The grabbing is not necessarily always in the same direction either, which points back at ruts. So what do you think? Is this something that can be corrected or should I just live with it? (Car is 06 S2000).

My alignment guy said the springs are worn and to put a new set of springs and an alignment should get things back to normal. Do you think if I put a new set of lowering springs on and stay with the stock shocks I'll be ok? Or coilovers would be the way to go. ]]> Wheels / Tires / Suspension chazdawg35 http://s2000.com/forums/wheels-tires-suspension/10089-ride-height-problems.html My tires are rubbing http://s2000.com/forums/wheels-tires-suspension/10043-my-tires-are-rubbing.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:30:17 GMT I recently purchased new tires for my 05 S2000.

I used to have 225 40 R18 and decided to replace them with 235 40 R18. Now I hear rubbing in the back when I go over bumps or big dents on the road. This mostly happens in the morning when it is cold. Could this have something to do with bad shock absorbers or maybe I need stiffer springs. I know that the tires cannot be too wide. The car is not even lowered.
