Default Handling setups for Turbo Charged S

Hi,

I don't usually post in the Forced induction section but thought i would today.
I was wondering what some members have done to their turbo charged S2000's to get better handling.

I'm almost ready to send my car in to the shop to finish my turbo build but was simply curious to know what setups people run to not only make their car go fast in a straight line but also to be able to take a turn well under boost.

Discuss.

Mike.

not much different than making a standard s go quickly, I run coilovers and a front sway, but in my opinion weight loss is the best

only problem with weight lost is you have to do it all over the car, our cars start off with a 50/50 ratio so try to keep that in mind as you do that... i added a turbo to the front but moved the battery to the back.... threre is a hundred different things you can do, but mostly just your coil/spring and strut setup is your best bet. and sway bars help also.

while keeping 50/50 is nice its not at all a requirement, Most of the easy weight removal comes out of the rear of these cars, I asked a full time race driver about this and he said anything is better than nothing. when I'm racing my car I tend to run the front a little stiffer than the rears, i don't wish I had any of my weight back.
