The "Rule of thumb" "Soft springs - Stiff sway bars" applys only for road, mountain courses. The rule is from a book about car supension, this book is up to date, comprehensive and simply "the Bible" in german language. The author also has race expirience with a Honda S2000. https://www.wwmotorsport.de/das-buch/ Best thing, he runs a suspension shop and is located only a hour away from me.

Staggerd setup and adjustbale sway bars are not Street legal here, at least for the S2000. I forgott to mention that our german laws sometimes spoils the fun...
You are all correct that each driver is different and prefer a different setup. I know this very well from Motorcycles. Sometime, when i switch bikes with a buddy, i am really stunned wich suspension setup others use. Trying out different swaybars is a bit problematic here, because they sold only a handfull of S2000 here in Germany and used parts are scarse.
Thank you all![/QUOTE
Anywhere to get this book in English that you know of?

It is all about application. And there are plenty who probably are running around on the street 100% the time, set up like a track car, that probably handles worse in their everyday application than it could with a softer more stock like setup.
