What does the Spoon Front Strut Tower Bar actually improve?

It connects the front top damper mounts to prevent body distortion under load, which increases chassis rigidity and prevents the frame from flexing independently at each strut tower. That added stiffness translates into sharper handling and more precise steering response.

Does this require cutting or modification to install?

No. Installation is described as very simple with no modification required, since it bolts directly to the existing top damper mount points.

Will this improve my daily driving, or is it a track-only upgrade?

Both benefit. Chassis rigidity improvements help most under hard cornering, so the gain is most noticeable during spirited driving or on track, but the sharper, more direct steering response is something you'll feel in everyday driving as well.

Which S2000 does this fit?

Both AP1 and AP2, covering the full 2000 to 2009 production run.

Is this the front bar or the rear?

This is the front strut tower bar specifically, connecting the front top damper mounts. Confirm you're ordering the correct bar if you're looking to address the rear of the car instead.

Does this interfere with the engine bay or other components?

The available specification doesn't note any interference concerns, and Spoon describes the install as very simple without modification, suggesting it's designed to clear factory components without issue.

Description

Spoon Front Strut Tower Bar for AP1 / AP2 Honda S2000

The Spoon Front Strut Tower Bar ties the top damper mounts together to fight the body distortion that builds up under hard cornering. Connecting those two points prevents the frame from flexing independently at each strut tower, which increases front-end stiffness and translates directly into sharper handling and more precise steering response. It bolts in without requiring any modification to the car, so it’s a straightforward upgrade for the chassis rigidity a stiffer suspension setup depends on.

Construction

Connects the front top damper mounts directly, reinforcing chassis rigidity at a point where the body would otherwise be free to flex independently on each side under load.

Features

Improves chassis rigidity for enhanced stability
Prevents body distortion by connecting the top damper mounts
Reduces frame flex, increasing stiffness
Improves handling and steering response
Simple installation, no modification required

Applications

Honda S2000: AP1, AP2 | 2000-2009

Notes

Very simple installation without any modification required

Additional Information

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.
