Default Ap1 and ap2 springs the same?

I'm looking at ordering springs for my car yet the site says the springs are for a 00-04. Being that an 04 is an ap2 these will fit my 05? I'm thinking this is a typo but I want to he certain. I appreciate any feedback.

That's a lot about spring rates and all. I guess my question is if that is a typo and is supposed to be for an ap1 will the springs be the same for ap2 and fit my car.

Not sure if you are replacing with stock springs or not. The spring rates changed by Honda for pretty much every single year of the S2000.

If you are looking for aftermarket, I think everybody agree's Swift is pretty much the best. And not much more than most others.

Actually, the regular Swift springs are specifically designed to operate in the damping range of the stock shocks. Swift also makes other springs that would not be suitable for the stock shocks.

I have stock struts with 100k on them and have had my springs on for 15k. Was not my ideal setup but every time i save for coilovers something financially ****s me. I do love the height of my neuspeeds though.

Neuspeeds still going strong after nearly 2 years of DD crashing about on rough roads. Still love the ride, handling and height.
One day it'll be coils..
