Well after 4 years of having an S2k (had 2 actually), i finally made the move over to a MK5 R32.. in TR No less
Image

I was debating between EVO / STI / CR s2k / or going with more of a daily driver friendly car such as a 335i / IS350 / MS3 etc... i hadnt even really considered a R32 until i was out test driving cars and came across a VW dealership with a slghted used R32 (6k miles).
Test drove it and decided tha it was more me. Has more class then the Evo / Sti crowd, yet has a more hardcore image than the 335 / is350...
Anyway i will post pics of the R32 later, but for now ill give you guys with a shot of my latest s2k:

Hopefully in the next month or so, i will have some rims, drop, intake, exhaust / Test pipe, and sways... i like to keep it clean

Thanks! I loved it too! But the lease was over, and just couldnt see myself having another s2k for 3 more years (as my DD atleast)...
I miss it, and to be honest with you i think im going to pick up a used one in the future as a track toy / project car.

Nice S2k, Always wanted one, I'm an Integra GSR owner, I've got both the GSR and the R32.
though I'm prob gonna get rid of the GSR for a more practical family car in the next year

Congrats on the R.

Congrads and a modest drop is fine.....I agree...I just don't fit in the Evo crowd.

Leave the stock springs as they are good, but swap the dampers to something non-suck like Konis or maybe KW.
Doesn't need a drop to handle well.
Larger rear sway may help it rotate for you, but spend more seat time before you change it. It has some funny behaviors due to the way that the Haldex AWD operates in stock config. Sometimes you rotate better by laying into the gas instead of coming off as you start to scrub.
I'm greatly looking forward to this spring as I get to spend an entire season autox'ing the R.

Congratulations on the purchase!
I'm a previous S2K owner too.
