Honda S2000 parts reviews

Nothing like having that factory H logo glass on a 21yo beauty

I got their vented rear and front rotors (Girodiscs) with stock calipers and Ferrodo DS2500 pads all around. For a stock powered car they work great at VIR. I have done 2 sessions there now and braking is pretty decent. On the street this combo will never fade period. The rears overheat which overload the fronts and cause issues. Rears overheating also causes the wheel bearings to go out so getting vented rears is just smart.

I’ve been told by some very experienced S2000 drivers that this is the best braking setup outside of a BBK. It’s streetable as well, if you don’t mind a bit squeaking. Make sure to burnish/bed the pads in beforehand for better performance.

I ran stock rotors for a long time with carbotech xp10/8, front brake ducts, stainless lines, and Motul 660. The XP10/8 + ducts was sufficient for 20min session the tracks I drive.

I'm not a track guy, but centric premium blanks are what I use based on s2ki recs, if your feeling fancy, I've heard good things of girodisk 2 piece rotors. Obviously, tracking you'll want to replace blanks more often, but centric blanks are cheap and plenty.

I ran this on my AP1 and it worked greats

S2000 1 piece oem rotors last 2 weekends

Girodisc s2000 oem size 2 piece rotors lasted me almost 2 years of heavy tracking. They only died because my hawk er1 pads took a chunk out of one. They still had plenty of thickness

It depends. I have the P Zero on my S2000 and they are good. The Bridgestone Potenza were better but not by much, the Michelin Pilot Sport were worse. On the other hand I have the Cinturato on my Focus Wagon and they suck sweaty balls. They are so bad I just put on some random Nexen M+S tires for winter and the car drivers better. I mean. WTF.

I’ve always used Denso and have never had any issues, but I’ve noticed that depending on car they’re sometimes noisy. Like they make a hum sound that’s distinguishable from the usual hum of an AC system.

high-performance Spal fans (not slims) were installed but actually had higher temps than OEM fans
