Keith,
Here are the manual pages showing the swaybar change. Click on the photo to bring up the photo browser, then select full size.

If you haven't done it already, it's easy. I just did the install today. It took a little longer because I installed a front grill and had to go out and buy a 24mm hex wrench for the thermoswitch. Once you identify the bolts, it's a piece of cake. You don't need a wobble wrench if you have small hands. I had a short wrench and a 3" extension and could reach both bolts. Like everyone says, jack up the car, get the bottom bolt from the front of the engine mount and the top bolt from the behind of the engine mount.

The pics at www.s2000.org helped me identify the correct bolts. Thanks marcucci

BTW, if you plan to install the thermoswitch, save yourself some time and buy a deep 24mm hex socket before you start. I spent one hour driving around trying to find one of those

I've heard that the thermostat is easier to install if the car is placed upside down

Actually it would be very difficult to do upside down. Probably easier on it's side. Are the thermostat housing bolts 6mm?
