You're both right, they cut the pro-kit to suit their needs to get the coupe to have that drop.

i called a tire and wheel store today asking about them ,they said they also rolled the inner fender well,and it is necessary if i go with the 20"x10 ..not sure how accurate is that.i am still confused about the tire size that would fit right ,and also not sure if there is any all season tires for that size i am not into switching tires every season ...

Yea, they rolled the rear inner fender well to incorporate the wheels. The drop plus 20'' wheels made them do it. I'm not sure if they rolled the front fenders though. But overall the drop + gap on the car is sexy as hell.

so without the drop there is no need for the fender roll thing?!! if i am going the hfp route ..should i be ok ?

If you go HFP you shouldn't have any major problems. You might have a little camber, but shouldn't be overly extreme. Beyond that, shouldn't need to roll fenders unless you plan to shove 22's under those wells.

why would i have a camber problem?! so i d need to get a camber kit?

As you lower your car, you're going to push out the bottom of the wheels. You might need a camber kit. Some HFP members have installed one, and others have left it as is. I'm not sure if the HFP come with any adjustability for camber or not.

man i thought when you get the spring lowering kits ,that is when you start having camber problems,but with the hfp i thought it should be fine,thanks for the info

The HFP kit is a spring lowering kit that happens to come with shocks. Your camber will be out of factory spec with the HFP kit. There is a different camber spec for the HFP kit but that is only because there is no way to adjust the camber with a camber kit and Honda does not make one for the car. If you get the HFP kit you should still look at getting a 1 arm camber kit.

hmm so i wonder how much further whatever they cut, droped it?

Rolling the fenders aren'ta big deal, esp since its so new shouldn't have any paint cracking etc...

Theres a guy here in south florida that does everyone's s2000 and a good job on it too so i'ld probably have him do mine when i get to this point.

I wonder if the additional amount it dropped was equivalent to the sportline kit (that is now out)

Was the drop the only thing photoshoped??

I'm using the sizes they list as a guide to for the 20's i'm gonna have made for the accord.

he told me,that this car wasn't even dropped at all and it looked odd and this kind of setup needs a drop ..so they photoshoped it,now i am wondering how it looks in real life setting, i mean honestly look at the pic it is out of a magazine .....i am very skeptical about them at this point.
also the fender rolling ,how easy is it..i don;t want the paint to crack now or later ..who had it done?

I rolled my rear fenders at JW motorsports and you cant even tell there rolled. They just shaved them a little. They did a good job.

And fender rolling, I think, should be left to the professionals. It's not really a DIY thing.
