There is no harm done by removing the front sway bar, It will give the front end more traction. In theory!

But you should be running 4 equal tires front to back as well!

No size, = as in thread and wear.

Try removing the front sway bar if you have one. Maybe subframe brace too.

WOW

[QUOTE=Tee-Dub,Mar 23 2008, 02:53 PM] Interestingly, I noticed this also on my 05 after having it lowered and aligned.

Hasn't anyone wondered if the guy is trying to push the car beyond it's limits for the particular conditions?

I do not spend an extreme amount of money on tires, I do not push the car to its limits and surprisingly have never had a problem with under or over steer.

drive harder. or faster. or pop your clutch. s2000 shouldn't understeer, unless you're braking in turns or not using plentiful throttle.
