The 00-01 S2000s have the same size front sway bar as the CR. Get the Eibachs. Good quality at a good price

I have an 01 as well and we have a pretty stiff front already, as well as rear, too stiff a rear. So I think our cars would benefit more from a softer rear sway since stock its stiffer than front.

Yea it made the car very neutral feeling. I put the big whiteline front on since I'm running a square setup and it made it feel much etter. I picked the 07 being the 06-07 had the 130series(smallest/weakest spring rate) to fit my needs.the little miata bar was to little spring rate for me and the No rear bar I didn't enjoy.I also added energy suspension bushings to the rear sway bar like I did when I had my OEM bar and the car is awesome. Next is adjustable endlinks and some more bracing.

Are you staggered or non-staggered? I think it's important to specify in your post since that makes a huge difference for the setup.
