I got my setup down to “one finger” spacing on all four corners and have never looked back! Nice clean look and I can drive it anywhere. Good luck!

Yeah "slamming" your car does nothing but hurt performance in most cases.. Unless of course it is a purpose-built race-car with proper suspension setup that needs the car to sit really low for aero.. But Honda's suspension geometry doesnt respond all that well to lowering.. Like you said, a nice 1-2 finger gap is a nice lowered look, but not so much you need to run a ton of negative camber and destroy your ride quality and tires.
I really hope i can make an appointment with you guys when i come back home from Idaho. After my deployment next year, id like to make the drive and get a metric ton of stuff done by LHT. You guys are awsome!
Really like your philosophy on gaining something without losing something else. Own my car for 9 years and loving it. My car has stock powertrain and other minor mods for peace of mind only. Curious if you would consider carbon fibre drive shaft as an option to gain something without losing something? Read some reviews saying that the weight saving makes the throttle a lot more responsive and can put down power better. But others suggest against it because it is more brittle therefore can break or crack if hits something under the car. Thanks.
Swift Spec R springs are the best height I have seen @ 1.2" drop front and rear. Geometry stays fine wish a proper alignment with a little added negative camber.
Should preload the suspension before tightening all the bolts on the suspension. Including the suspensions bushing bolts that weren’t removed during install.
If you go on their website there is more info. They dont like talking about prices on jobs on their youtube. You can also call the shop and talk to Esther if you are serious about getting them to install it.
I live not too far from Tail of the Dragon, love to drive it with y’all (you have to use that word when you visit) on 11/1. But, which car to drive - 2004 S2000 or 2000 NSX-T? Please share more details when you know times.
Get Some Fortune Auto, Feal, or AMR coils please... Please support your local Suspension makers! I know JDM suspension is nice, but we make amazing Suspension too! Please help out Businesses!
Not sure if your comment is in regards to the Skunk2 pro-C coilovers that were installed on the silver S2K or not but Skunk2 is a US company based out of SoCal (manufactured overseas}. For what these S2K's are being intended to do KW would be my choice.
Would lowering springs get you a close measurement fit for all for wheels? I bought a set of coilovers and it's a pain in the back to get them close to accurate
LHT, is there a check list you guys go through before you let a car sit for a long period of time? Also, you said you change your oil every 3k miles, is there an age limit for the oil? Say if you havent hit 3k miles in about a year because you dont drive that particular vehicle often?
They are all over Ebay, search TRD Pro SEMA rims, the knock-off's are 8" instead of the Toyota genuine ones at 7" wide, Black or Gunmetal. Have an 04 Green Sequoia 4WD with 2 1/2" lift with the black option on 285's and it looks perfect.
What is the highest original mileage s2k motor you have supercharged? I have a 2003 w/208k miles on the original motor. I did the retainers at 205k w/no damaged on original ap1s. The motor still looked brand new inside the head
@@aisu8481 Well wondering which one they prefer for keeping the same feel for the s2000 more or less liike he says in the video. wondering between SC or Turbo
@@Meatballxl well, considering the supercharger only enhances what the engine already does.. that’s a more purist choice.. A turbo will alter the shape of the torque curve and available power at certain rpm will not be immediate. You’ll have to drive the spool, instead of just the rpm.

@@Meatballxl If you are looking to keep the same feel of an NA s2K, than you cant go Supercharger.. Supercharger is instant torque and boost. If you dont like moving the powerband lower and lowering the redline, you dont really want a SC.. rather, youd want a larger, laggier turbo that spools up a bit later and pulls all the way to 9K.
Anyone have an Idea of what boosting a S2k would cost. Parts/labor? Im guessing 7-8K?

For price reference: All depend on the type you go with and the quality(no labor) -Turbo($1200-2500) -Intercooler(300-800) -Manifold($500-1200) -Downpipe($400-600) -Piping($300-500) -BOV & WG(400-800) -Fuel System and lines($500-1500) -Injectors($300-500) -Tuning($500-1500) -Misc items like clamps, gauges, heat wrap, oil lines, fittings, ect($100-1500) ****And if you dont have Engine Management, tack on another $1000-2000 for Hondata/Haltech/AEM ect..
@ thanks, so its safe to say these LHT builds we see on youtube are 10k builds right? I tried to search on LHT’s website but didnt see any packages or pricing info.
4 года назад
@@Jamess17065 It depends really. And tbh, I dont know a ton about LHT's pricing, as I live nowhere near Florida. But with their reputation and the quality of their work, It would not surprise me if they charge a premium. And they SHOULD! Not rip people off obviously, but they are a top Honda shop, so they deserve a bit higher per hour rate. But yeah, if you went to LHT and said "TURBO MY CAR!".. Look to spend around $10K.. at least. I do think they would work with you though if you said you were on a budget. You dot have to go with high end parts, but I dont, and I am sure LHT dont recommend cutting costs unless you have to.

pulled the trigger on an '03 s2000 two months ago because of this channel. hoping to make the trip down one day!
Congrats man.
@@Rasec1120 thanks man. childhood dream come true
Ishan Singh Awesome my friend. The S2000 is an amazing car.
They perform great doughnuts & slides! & it'll take your beating ALL DAY LONG! Check your fluids!!
Yeah. Finally pulled the trigger on an 03 for my birthday. I was inspired by LHT.
Thank you! Looking forward to the build!! You Guys are the S2K caretakers. Your attention to detail is legendary in the S2K family!!!
My brother and I absolutely love your videos!! Thank you LHT
Thanks buddy, appreciate it.
This is so cool, love that your building a shop s2000, cant wait till you finish this up!

@ agreed, I love my ride!
This is great. I just picked up an 08 s2k and will be following along very closely to get some ideas for quality modifications for the future :)
Congrats ! Great car.
I really hope i can make an appointment with you guys when i come back home from Idaho. After my deployment next year, id like to make the drive and get a metric ton of stuff done by LHT. You guys are awsome!
Just got myself a 2007 in red 77000 miles totally standard looking forward to what you do only problem is I am in the UK 🇬🇧
Awesome buddy, I mean...Mate. At least you can follow along and get some ideas.
Did you change the ratio during editing? 🤔
I accidentally changed the rendering. I sometimes render in 480 to preview as it’s fast. Then change back to 1080 to unload . Sorry bud.

Yes, 1.3” is about the max without too negativity geometry, it will tend to wear axle cups long term.
89hondaguysi Swift make good springs. We’ve installed a bunch over the years.
@@LHTPerformance Ive been very happy with mine.. I know they're better with the CR shocks though.. won't waste my time. Next is full body coilovers.
I double checked the video date, I was like ' is this some old LHT video I haven't seen before? '
final0915 I accidentally changed the rendering settings. Sorry.
I think I heard turbo mugen civic part 3 in the background.
Yep. It’s happening.
Really good explanation regarding the suspension. Thanks brother I learned something. Yes please a lht brake flush video would be great.
Nice ! Any video of the Red crx sit next to dyno ??
Should preload the suspension before tightening all the bolts on the suspension. Including the suspensions bushing bolts that weren’t removed during install.
trakknutt We do. We snug the bolts then torque on the ground once everything is good
@@LHTPerformance assumed you did but just figure I’d mention it for those doing their own work
I came expecting to be entertained. I was educated. Thank you lht.
Side note: whats a rough estimate to bolt on a kraftwerks super charger kit

@@thatguygambit5062 thanks man. I appreciate that.

Most of the name brand lowering springs are pretty close all round.
Can you do an alignment video on an s2000?
Love the 2K content
My lht dream build:
F22 swap, super charge it.
Suspension
Top
Clutch
Hope to see George's Mugen_Si get the Titanium Exhaust Treatment....(Xfingers crossedX).
Stainless Bros sponsored the material 50% and LHT the other 50%.

bought a ap1 recently, im in love with it but its too damn low ! this video is helpful tho..
K20 turbo in the background ?
Where did he purchase the trd rims? I got a 06 Sequoia myself and the factory steel rims look awful and those rims look good.

john!! only 480p max video quality!
Yep, I Accidentally changed the render settings. I was just looking for more thumbs done. Lol.
John, nothing funnier than a "slammed" car caught in an 8 inch snowstorm. They look like mini snowplows ;)
350-400hp on Supercharger or Turbo? in your opinion
Pretty much every car they’ve supercharged makes over 400

Even my bone stock AP1 slightly scrapes about half the time going in and out of my driveway....sucks for me.
Same
Here
No side steps
I know this will probably go against the theme of the shop s2000 build but will you include a roll bar in that build series?
🙌❤
feels like im watching a video made in 07
Get me 20 thumbs down and I’ll delete it 👍🏻
The guy I bring my 13 si for an oil change jokes about that I buy too much oil or I do too much oil change on my car 🤣
That's after finding out that Cosco now sells 0w 50 cheaper than everyone
Should have watched this sooner. That dam is only 4 hours away
Why is this video on 480 only ?
Drop it on its balls. Tampa roads are glass smooth... 🤣
There's no such thing as too low. :P
Low does look good. 👍🏻

vinyl dirt....lol
