I'm debating the same. Got wheels and tires taken care of and working on the sway bar. That was going to be it for now until I was leaving this morning and Judi asked me when we were ordering shocks and coilovers. :shock:

She apparently found a money tree growing in a corner of our yard that I haven't seen yet.

Perhaps some of that money tree's pollen will spread to my yard when spring comes around. :D

James is pretty damn close to convincing me to do the same. I'm looking at the PSS9s, looks to be a good combo between performance and price. What are you guys looking at?

I was going to ask for a few seeds so I can get some Bilstein PSS9's. :lol: (edit: nice Jeremy ^ lol... Great minds!)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-HON ... 2eba12b30f

Why do these 17x9 RPF1's look so hideous on this '06 S2000 that's been on Craigslist for a while? Offset? 215's on 9" wheels probably? I'm guessing these are the 22mm offset instead of the 45's. It looks like the front fenders don't stand a chance, especially if it had 255's up front.

I wonder if they'd want to trade for some '04 AP2 wheels.

You need an offset of at least 55 to keep them under the fenders.



This thread is going to be 100 pages before we even start this season. :shock:

With 255's on stock suspension, right? I'm most likely not going to make the coilover plunge this year if I don't want to sleep in the tool shed.

If we can go 35+ in Rodney's Bullitt/MCS quest, I have little doubt. :twisted:
