XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda S2000 AP1/AP2 1999-2009

The S2000’s chassis is one of the sharpest things Honda ever built for the public road, and it punishes a tired damper set faster than almost anything else from its era. AP1 cars especially – with their snappier rear and shorter wheelbase rear geometry – reward a coilover that controls weight transfer cleanly rather than just lowering the car. The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s answer for owners who want that S2000 alertness without giving up the ability to drive to work the next morning.

Pitched at the fast-road S2000 driver who also takes the car to occasional track days, this kit replaces the original twin-tube struts with a fully adjustable setup that lets you choose how the car behaves rather than living with what 25-year-old OEM dampers decide for you.

What this coilover does for your 1999-2009 Honda S2000 AP1/AP2

Installed on an S2000, the Street Advanced calms the lift-off rotation the chassis is famous for without dulling it. The 720 damping positions mean you can run a softer setting for B-road work where the surface is broken, then firm everything up at the circuit so the F20C or F22C is no longer chasing pitch under heavy braking into a hairpin. Ride height adjustment gets the front lip out of the way of UK speed bumps while still pulling the visual gap closed at the rear arch. On the AP2 with its revised geometry, the result is a flatter platform under power without the harshness most coilovers introduce at this price. Brake feel sharpens too, simply because the front axle stops diving onto the bump stops mid-corner.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular kit and the one the company developed over years of competition feedback before bringing it to the street market. Construction is engineered for dual-purpose use – normal road driving and weekend track sessions – rather than dedicated circuit duty. The 720-way damping adjustment is the headline spec: a single knob per corner moves bump and rebound together across a range wide enough to suit a stock-power S2000 on Michelin PS4S as easily as a supercharged AP1 on semi-slicks. XYZ describe it as indispensable for drivers chasing speed and control, and the kit has been validated through their international race programme before reaching road customers. Spring rates are matched to the S2000’s relatively light kerb weight rather than borrowed from a heavier platform.

Fitment for the Honda S2000 AP1/AP2 (1999-2009)

This kit is built specifically for the HN47 chassis covering both the AP1 (1999-2003) and AP2 (2004-2009) generations of the Honda S2000. The mounting hardware and stroke are sized to suit the original front double-wishbone and rear in-wheel double-wishbone geometry. Confirm your model year against the chassis code before ordering.
