Default The fun part about modding is the excitement.

Two weeks! Cancelled my hks order since they quoted me 3 additional weeks for shipment (sent them to hks kansai to get modded they've had them for almost two months already). Now I'm awaiting these babies. w00t! Track days here I come.

Default Yup.

Default Could you really be more misinformed?

The old flexes = twin tubed garbage, the new monoflexes = mono-tubed revalved hotness. In fact tein held the time attack time over HKS (current record holder) for awhile when mono-tubed released before it was available to the public.

That and they're bulkier than the HKS' which I had to send to Kansai to get beefed up. They're not exactly s-tech springs and chances are all of the bench-racing trash talking is from the guys who couldn't afford good teins so opted for the SS garbage. With them you get what you pay for.

Default I wouldn't be surprised if the off-the-shelf Koni Sport shocks have better damping qualities.

I've seen all the dyno plots for just about every affordable shocks for Hondas ( less than $4k), and Koni Sports out performs all the jdm stuff.

Default You may want to read this then.

S2000's and Evo's have nearly the same wheel ratio. So tuning is almost the same with having stiffer settings in the rear and front.<ul><li><a href="http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=345258&amp;st=0">http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=345258&amp;st=0</a</li></ul>
