As most of you'd know, the S2K has kind of a split personality. Sometimes it sticks like glue in turns while other times the rear has a huge tendency slide out.

I would LOVE to know what can be done to reduce this oversteering tendency. A rear sway bar maybe? Or much wider wheels and tires? Or anything at all? It's be super cool to get some answers. Thx!

 

There are changes that can be made to the car to tame the oversteer(witness the model year '04)

Driving style is the primary culprite. Don't ask the car to do things it can't like lift the throttle on a turn on get on the throttle to heavy in a turn.

I have used the oversteer of the S2000 to learn more about the limits of the car and how to play near them...

 

You could simply lower the rear tire pressure relative to the front. You could also add more negative camber to the rear tires, but this will cause more tire wear. Take a driving course at your local SCCA chapter and/or try autocrossing. It's amazing how simple changes to your driving style can make you think you've improved the handling of the car, naturally the real improvement is in you.

 

More traction on the rear wheels.. Wider rear wheels perhaps... stiffer front end..
