Are you still running both sway bars?

Just had CR FSB installed and I absolutely love it!
Wow...what a nice difference....really plants the car
and carves high radius tight corners like a hot knife
through butter!
Am now considering CR RSB as well....along with the
tighter steering adjuster.

Might not even touch dampers/springs now...I'm that
happy with the FSB change.

And I do need new rear tires...that will help even more.
Only mod needed after that will be Kand N intake along
with lighter wheels someday to help with the rolling resistance.

OP, from your user name, I'll venture that you're used to something MUCH lighter than a Honda S2000.

YES!
You and others in this thread are correct...huge improvement
with using the CR FSB!

Very happy with ride...only thing I want to solve now is at
times when turning sharp...I dont know if its the traction
control kicking in or what....but I lose traction..I kind of
hit a limiter to the drives!

Maybe if I upgraded to a RSB as well....this would correct
the situation?
Would bigger RSB adversely affect my "new-found" excellent
turn in?
Also want to add the CR steering stiffeners then all I need to
make ride street perfect would be lighter wheels(Enkeis or Volks).

ps...just wish I could find Volks somewhere at 50% off!

merckx racer

Yes....you are right..figuring my S weighs 2850lbs. my Merckx
weighs 2830lbs. less!!

And keep in mind...I've got the Columbus MXL(Max) tubing
which is the nivachrome/vanadium steel model with lugs!
And I ride the largest stock frameset made...and to be
exact the last Columbus Max/Motorola ride the "Cannibal"
will ever produce(#100 of 100 commemorative models)

Its awesome...comfy..resilient..but super sprinter stiff!

[QUOTE=CarbonYellowJ's,Jan 27 2010, 11:06 PM] Get a thick FSB and see where that gets you. It should make really hard, low speed cornering better.

To answer your original question:

1. Yes, I have koni shocks (coilovers0 at about stock height and handling is better

2. Maybe the front sway, depending on other mods, doubtfull about the rear sway, and the mux brace will not make any difference to an otherwise stock car.

No one that I know of, on the board or otherwise, who race their S2000's have a stiffer rear sway bar. I don't even have mine connected, but then I have 700 ft/lb springs in the rear, so I don't need a rear swaybar.

3 and 4. Yes, the CR springs and or shocks will fit any year S2000. I did this for last year's autocross season. It was not bad, but nothing close to custom valved shocks and stiffer springs.

It sounds like you should do some reading, and by that I don't mean reading on the internet. Go buy some books that talk about suspension tuning. That way, you will know what you need, vs what you think you need.
