Does the Öhlins Road & Track DFV coilover kit fit both the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2?

Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track DFV coilover kit is compatible with the Honda S2000 AP1 (1999–2003) and AP2 (2004–2009). The kit includes aluminum ball joint top mounts for both front and rear axles, so no factory top mount hardware is required. The AP1 and AP2 share the same basic suspension architecture, though buyers should confirm fitment with the part number for their specific model year before ordering.

How does the single-knob 25-click adjuster work on this Öhlins S2000 kit?

The 25-click adjustment knob on the Öhlins DFV coilover changes all four damping areas at once: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Turning it clockwise stiffens the damper for track use. Turning it counterclockwise softens it for street driving. No tools are needed, and both axles are adjusted the same way.

Is height adjustment separate from damping on the Honda S2000 Öhlins kit?

Yes. Ride height is controlled by a dedicated damper length adjuster and spring preload adjuster on each axle, which operate independently from the damping knob. Adjusting ride height does not change your damping setting. Both front and rear offer approximately 10 to 35mm of lowering range.

What are the spring rates on the Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for the S2000?

The front spring rate is 100 N/mm and the rear is 80 N/mm. Both use aluminum monotube shock absorber construction. The front-to-rear rate difference accounts for the S2000's near-even weight distribution and the different lateral and longitudinal loads each axle handles during performance driving.

Are the Öhlins S2000 DFV dampers rebuildable?

Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track dampers for the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2 are fully rebuildable, which also allows custom revalving for more specific track applications. The kit is backed by a 2-year warranty, and all units are corrosion salt spray tested to ISO 9227.

Description

Öhlins DFV Road & Track Coilovers for AP1 and AP2 Honda S2000

The Öhlins Road & Track DFV coilover kit for the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2 (1999-2009) is built for the driver who refuses to compromise. The S2000 is already a sharp, rear-wheel-drive sports car with more chassis than most people ever fully use; this kit takes that foundation and raises the ceiling significantly, adding the kind of traction, response, and composure you’d expect from a purpose-built race setup, while keeping enough everyday manners to drive to work without complaint. Compatibility covers the full Honda S2000 production run, spanning the AP1 from 1999 through 2003 and the AP2 from 2004 through 2009. Both front and rear use aluminum ball joint top mounts included in the kit, so no factory top mount hardware is needed.

How the DFV System Works

Öhlins’ patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) is what separates this kit from a standard adjustable coilover. The DFV introduces a secondary oil bypass that opens when the damper encounters a sharp or severe input; track curbing, broken pavement, mid-corner bumps. This allows Öhlins engineers to tune the damper for the planted, responsive behavior the S2000 needs at the limit, while the bypass handles impacts that would otherwise unsettle a stiffer setup. The result is a coilover that runs linear spring rates, offers motorsport-level support, and still absorbs the rough edges of a real road without transferring them into the cabin.

Damping and Height Adjustment

A single 25-click knob handles all damping adjustment, changing low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound simultaneously. Turning it clockwise at the track puts the damper into race mode; turning it back before leaving sets it back to a more relaxed road tune. No tools, no multiple adjustment points, no complicated setup process between sessions.
Height adjustment is fully independent from damping on both axles. Front and rear each use a dedicated damper length adjuster and spring preload adjuster, offering approximately 10 to 35mm of lowering range at both ends. Adjusting ride height has no effect on the damping setting.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
