    I found the left and right drive shafts are diffrent length's. So I have had them reco'd. This should help. Damn sight less money than buying new ones...!! Should get it back tomorrow......

    J's racing driveshaft spacers also do the trick once your've swapped the inner cv's around. As the spacers make it wear on a less used section. Unfortunately the inners are a poor design and are prone to wearing out and breaking. I'm sure i'm not the only one that's broken plenty of inners.

    The driveshafts got reco'd and are now perfect..!! Less than half the cost then getting Honda to do it..!!

    So if you have the prob get it seen to by a driveshaft specialist and simply get them reco'd..!! ALL done..!! less than 800 bucks it cost to have them done, labour and all..!!

    You could do it at home, but you need a ball joint splitter tool to get access to remove the driveshafts.

    Anyways all done, thanks for the info all..!!

    Good out come!
    I will do the same with mine if wheel alignment does nothing. Your right my local Honda Dealer is very expensive I usually go to another one 30mins away.
    Fixing the A/C in next on this list lol.

    Great to see you resolved your problem, I had the same problem during acceleration I got alot vibration, I installed some T1R Half driveshaft spacers and solved my problem.

    Its a common problem with lowered S2000's

    I wouldn't advise swapping over the cv's its a messy job and very time consuming.

    The T1R half spacers only take 30min to install both.

    I have finally got mine looked at. There are certain that it’s due to it being lowered and the angles ECT and the shafts not being a square angle from the diff and when you accelerate the car squats and make the angles worse. We are going to look into a wheel alignment and camber to help this. So everything else seems sweet  it just wears tyres more as well lol

    OMG OMG OMG finally i have the same problem and i thort that might have been why mines lowerd too and vibrates only under acceleration. i put new tyres and balanced them too and its still there too lol please PM me and tell me how u got after wheel alignment please

    The shaft spacers only change the wear point on the CV shaft. There was a long ass thread on the effectiveness of the shaft spacers on s2ki.com

    You can just get the ebay ones, they all do the same shit. The T1R half style spacer just means you can install them without taking off the whole shaft...

    I am swapping the shafts around on Wednesday!
    Then maybe think about the spacers. Are they worth doing after I do this? will they prevent wear?
    My car is lowered and done 90,000Kms and I drive hard lol. So I kind think I am doing ok lol

    Will someone please give me a positive rating! :-)
