As the title suggests this Honda S2000 may have the basic look of the Honda supercar, but beneath that the bright red exterior there is a monster waiting to pounce onto its next victim. To put that in perspective this is a light two seater car with 321 HP and 206 ft lbs of torque imagine the forces at work to produce that sort of power and still keep the car on the road at the same time.
The S2000 is one of the most underestimated cars the Honda brought out, there could be many reason for that, market, competition or just a general lack of cash around in the buyers pockets. However, this is car worth thinking about especially as this model is actually over ten years old now.
This particular Honda S2000, is owned by import builder Brian Kim who is based in southern California, the build did not set out to set the world on fire as it was going to be a more personal experience, but as with many projects once it was started it just grew into a life of its own.
Now this car is at the top of the Honda S2000 tree and it s great example of how it is possible to set off on a one route where the plan is to simply build a nice looking car that represents the individual tastes of the builder. However, after a while the project takes on a life of its own and grows into a show stopping powerful machine such as this car is.

Megan Racing Lowering Springs: Honda S2000 #11423
Product Description for the Megan Racing Performance Lowering Springs:
(1″ Front 1″ Rear) Built for the (00-07) Honda S2000 Megan Racing Performance Lowering Springs are constructed of SAE 9254 Cold Wounded Steel, one of the strongest materials available. The high tensile strength and phosphate powder coating delivers outstanding spring rates that are extremely durable and resist premature sagging. The result is a spring that specifically offers race car handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics. Carefully matched springs rates provide exceptional handling, response, control and balance. These springs offer a generous drop to your car while remaining very streetable by having enough clearance to avoid bottoming-out; and the lowered centre of gravity improves performance and increases stability, as well as enhancing the appearance of the vehicle.
