I installed the "Go Fast Lab's S2000 anti-bumpsteer rear control arm kit". This kit adds a heim joint at the end of the lower rear control arm to reduce rear wheel deflection. The difference was amazing. I don't know if Go Fast is still around, but, I'm sure that someone still makes these. Google to check where you can find these.

^^ Link isn't working for me.
You can contact TC Design directly:

The anti-bumpsteer kit is a good mod to settle the rear of an ap1. Front swaybar as mentioned. Also, doesn't hurt to add 17" rims and run 255s at the rear.

Because of their high cost?
The s2000 stocks can 'do the same without them

^^ The toe adjustment is not the reason these reduce "bump steer". They reduce the amount of dynamic toe change when the suspension is compressed or extended when going over a bumpy road. Sudden toe change is what causes "bump steer".
(Note: bump steer is incorrect usage for what happens at the rear of the s2k...it is actually roll steer. But everyone understands the term "bump steer" better)

I do not understand why 'do this .... bar stock honda is not' for adjustment toe but it has the same effect

the spherical joints limit compliance steer. by adjusting the vertical location of the outboard pickup point it allows the toe link to more closely project to the instant center of the upper/lower control arm, limiting bump/roll steer.
