Default S2000 Handling Upgrades ?

Is it possible to upgrade a Pre 2002 S2k to the new handling specs of the 2002 model ; ie: safer handling, different antiroll bars etc ? if so, rough costs ? Thanks.

sure, its possible. just different spring rates, bars and shocks. but honestly... why would you? my suggestion would be to learn your car and correct it from there, not just get the updates to have the updates because they are better or work better for some people.


that's my take.

I believe the pre-2002 models in the UK had a very aggressive suspension setting, causing the rear-end to be very snappy. For 2002 the suspension was changed to the US setting I believe. That's probably why he wants to change it. The US setting is aggressive enough as it is (for my inexperienced self that is). I couldn't imagine what the UK suspension was like.
