This will just help the suspension do its job better on the track. Enjoy the car.
Do you mean i stiffer front sway bar for the front only or the entire kit? Which bar would work best? Eibach, AP1/CR, etc?

This might sound a little outside of the box but how about investing in some ramps instead?

I don't mind adjusting the ride height at the track but i want to be able to raise the car back up when I leave. Am i asking for too much from a coilover setup? I blame my driveway... I should get some pictures and show you guys just how bad it is.
You know what that means.... time for a new house.

I went down that route for a bit before I patched up the driveway. It was a pain in the ass! Might have to look in to it again though -_____-

Options:
1. Sell your house and look for a driveway that works.
2. Repave the driveway.
3. Remain at stock ride height.
4. Buy another S2000 as a DD.



Option 3 depending on how much your track is the most practical.

That would work well. I have Swift R springs I can sell you that only have about 15K miles on them.
