I'll take my vital statistics later and post tomorrow.....mine is the '01MY.......the ultimate expression of the S2000 before they started appealing to pussies with a penchant for a tight rear-end

the younger ones know that the 04 is what the original car should have been. It is like all software products, the more users that use it the more flaws come to light and they fix them. I am now on the third edition and getting better. Sorry Zero.

Your gap between tyre and wheel arch cant be right? do you mean 5.4 and 4.4 cm ? ?
I have had my last 3 cars slammed as I hate that gap inbetween the wheel and the arch looking too big, I only lowered by about 1 to 1.5 inches but it looks so much better. And only cost about 200 quid each car fitted ( all beemers) . Anyone know how much uprated springs would be for the s?
thanks

Actually mine seems to sit higher now after my mishap , I know I have had a complete new suspension at the back but it looks to be too high . In fact I am gonna measure it and would be interested to hear from anyone else regarding the distance between tyre and arch, I am using the original tyres.
Right, where's my tape measure ...
