Does the hub come with a bearing?

No. A new hub bearing must be supplied separately for each hub, because the original bearing cannot be reused after it is pressed out. The swap needs press tools and the factory torque specification, so most owners book the job at a shop that has a press.

Will the Hardened Front Hub for AP1 cars fit my AP2?

Yes. The Hardened Front Hub for AP1 cars is listed for the AP2 as well, covering the 2004 to 2009 F22C models alongside the 1999 to 2003 AP1. It is sold one hub at a time, so plan on two assemblies for the front axle.

What sizes are the long hub bolts?

Both long-bolt options use reinforced M12 x 1.5 bolts with a 12.3mm spline. The 10mm option measures 53mm overall and the 20mm option 63mm overall. The standard option keeps the regular bolts. Check that the back of your wheel clears the extra length before choosing.

Why does a front hub need hardening?

Sports driving on high-grip tires puts loads on the S2000 hubs that the manufacturer judged too much for the factory parts. Hardening only the stressed areas raises wear resistance and fatigue strength, and the pattern comes from what failed in endurance racing.

How do the three options differ?

The standard option is the hardened hub without extended bolts. The 10mm and 20mm options arrive with reinforced long bolts already pressed in, which saves the time-consuming job of swapping bolts yourself. Every option still has to be pressed in with a new bearing, which is sold separately.

J’s Racing Hardened Front Hub for AP1 / AP2 Honda S2000

J’s Racing’s Hardened Front Hub for AP1 and AP2 S2000s gives the steering corners the treatment the Osaka tuner developed while racing the car in endurance events. J’s Racing found the factory hubs short on strength for sports driving on high-grip tires, so it takes a genuine Honda front hub and induction hardens selected zones to raise its strength and resist failure. Owners can keep standard bolts or order it with 10mm or 20mm long bolts already pressed in. It makes the most sense on a car with sticky tires, big brakes or a wide-fender kit, and is more than a lightly driven street S2000 needs.

Features

Genuine front hub, induction hardened in selected zones rather than all over
Hardening pattern and depth developed from endurance racing feedback
Optional 10mm or 20mm long bolts arrive pressed in, so no bolt swap is needed
Long bolts made from a stronger material than the factory bolts
Extra bolt length gives more wheel choice behind big calipers or wide fenders
Listed by J’s Racing for street driving through circuit use

Notes

Each order is for one front hub assembly; buy two to cover both front wheels
The hub bearing cannot be reused, so a new bearing is needed for each hub and is not included
Fitting requires press work and must follow the factory torque specifications
Some wheels may not accept the long bolts because of their back-side shape; confirm clearance before buying
After fitting a long-bolt hub, recheck bolt and nut tightness regularly and before each circuit day
J’s Racing also offers a hardened rear hub for the AP1 / AP2 S2000
Built to order in Japan and shipped through J’s Racing USA; we confirm the lead time once you order

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

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.
