why not get the arches rolled? A minor enough job and opens up all kinds of options.

Fear of finding someone competent enough to do a decent job. Don't want to have to repaint either if paint cracks and does it not de-value car when comes t resale as although its unnoticable from looking at the car head on, under the arches could look pretty naff? and I read they can be more prone to rust etc?

See below

http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/869084-lowest-offset-without-fender-roll/

most of them still rub even with arches rolled etc and thats the for the same offset as those RPF1's.

It just seems so much hassel as I like a good amount of drop, but nothing ridiculous (talking 45mm).
Many can only lower 1 inch or so (25mm) with going the wider offsets unless fenders are pulled aswell.

I do like the stock oem wheels that I have which come on the facelift 08/09 S's. Thinking of getting them sprayed a shadow chrome effect and some nice lows for now untill I decide what to do with the wheels. Few more bits and pieces to focus on before wheels just

What weight was the Skunk system? Catted?

Never weighed it man. I'll find out though. I'm sure someone has. Cat back just. Will probably look for a 70mm decat pipe and js manifold at some stage. Bit skint ATM mind you lol.

Ive a 70 Berk HFC. The Invidia system is 70 mm. Its a little more than stock when sub 3k, 3-5k great, in Vtec......awesome. It can be subtle when you want it to be....and its looks OEM (IMHO)

The J's header is serious dough, and then an ECU and tune.....leads on to a further shed load. lol

Absolutely but it's the only one I want. If it's going to be done might as well do it right lol. The skunk2 is seriously loud in the cabin. Was looking into berk hfc as well but will prob just decat it tbh.
I heard sounded awesome. I just wanted the angled tailpipe look.

 

[S2000-sam]

decat can be a PITA come MoT time

 

[Tim Long]

Yeah but I'll Just switch it back over. Least with the s2000 a race manifold doesn't decat the car and mean you'd have to change header to stock again to pass mot.
