Fresh dampers on an s2k will make a world of difference. Stock s2k dampers are fantatic, and the rears even have remote reservoirs *on the factory dampers*.

As with most cars by 60k miles, the factory dampers are pretty dead.
Pretty cool that Honda threw remote reservoirs on the rears from the factory. You can tell their intended purpose with the car from details like that. I'll suggest to my friend to replace his dampers.

With stock rev limiters, the AP1 has a much broader usable powerband.
Yeah I'd love to try the AP1. I think a wider powerband is what I was looking for.
