Body Kits for Function
There are tons of body kits out there for the S. So many that it makes it hard to decide what is best. My question is does anyone know which body kit will provide functional downforce and also reduce drag on the car?
An example would be the mugen kit for the RSX. It adds about 5mph to the top end and give better downforce at that speed. I would think the mugen s2000 kit would do the same but I have no idea. Can anyone comment on this?

Yeah, The Mugen front will help because it smooths the front end of the S2000 out and gives it an angle as opposed to a vertical surface on the OEM front. Mugen also sells a front underbody panel that improves the drag cooeficient. Also, some companies like topsecret, mugen, and a few others sell rear underbody diffusers to help lift in the rear and you can buy those carbon fiber fins that attach to the front of the car to also help against lift.

I know what you mean, lvs2k. If i wanted the mugen front bumper, underbody, rear bumper, rear underbody, gt wing, and hard top I could buy another s2k for that price. I was thinking about other companies. Does anyone else beside mugen test their body kits in a wind tunnel?
