welcome here!
Are you from Switzerland or Italy (Italian part of Switzerland maybe)?
You should pass by the European forum also...

Tiziano is the S2000 a popular car where you live ??

They said on the news this week that the U.K. customers bought more convertible cars than French, German and Italian put together.

Apparently they're not as grippy as the S02-PP's so I'd imagine their about as grippy as the OEM S02's...

Remember if you're going off the OEM S02's you need to put 245/45/16's on rather than the stock 225/55/16's.

Personally I'm trying to get a set of S02-pp's for the autumn, all that great English weather (not). S02-pp's are far better in the wet!

Germany is in fact the biggest european market for convertibles.

I've travelled through many hot countries, but I've never seen as many convertibles as in London!!

In Switzerland S2000 is not so popular... Honda don't publicize this car so much....

When I did the Jonathan Palmer track day in June, one of the guys there had just got new S03's put on his rears - the dealer told him they were replacing the S02s with this "new model".

He said they totally ruined the handling of the car... it was a lot more fidgety and less predictable. Make of that what you will...
