Add me to the "add more rear toe" camp. A lot of autocrossers used to run more rear toe-in than that even with 1.25" solid front bars.

Ive heard the cr front bar is a good upgrade . so maybe go with cr front from majestic honda . If still not happy go with the my 06 rear bar in addition to cr front bar thats should do the trick for cheap money .
if he has a 00-01 s2k... his sway bar is just as good as the CR bar...

decreasing the rear bar like antonov said is the better suggestion

I seriously crack up every time I read when someone types this, it's a total english language fail. "All intents and purposes" is the original phrase.

Anyhow, just so I'm not a complete douche and have some helpful advice, the Whiteline 30mm front sway bar is cheap and fits fine. (it's simple, uses stock endlinks, etc) It's quite a bit stiffer than the stock bar of any year, but it's a little heavy. Great price, only $160ish and you can do bing cashback on ebay for another $16 off.

It's what I'm running right now, I have an old Gendron in my garage that hits my shocks, I'll probably get around to it when I get the car on the track more.

I ordered the 2006 rear sway bar last night along with the correct bushings.

I own a 2000, so I kind of thought the CR bar was a rather pointless upgrade considering it is less than .5mm difference, although I don't know how much of a difference there is in the length of the lever arms. If the rear bar isn't enough, I think I may try the Tanabe bar. Hopefully this rear bar is enough though.

I seriously crack up every time I read when someone types this..
I had to read this a couple times, so call us square. There are bigger fish to fry.

What tires and sizes are you running? That's hugely important.

The 30mm solid Whiteline is on my car and works great for me.
Its Australian origin and we get them in UK at about the same cost.

I did fit some ant-tramp clips to it as per the oem bar, as I found it liked to slide about in the bush mounts.
I took the oem rubber channels off the old bar and used a couple of hose clips, this keeps the bar central,

+1 on the English language comments, but please, it a capital E for 'English'

215/245? Wow, and you're getting oversteer? I would consider better tires as well.
