Well i don't drive at high speeds often....but at higher speeds the car doesn't feel very stable.I'm sure it's because the car is light but what can i do to get the car more stable at higher speeds....?

On a smooth, straight, road, your car should be stable at any speed it can reach. If it's not, check the tire pressures and wheel alignment, especially the rear toe settings. The S2000 is very unstable at speed if it doesn't have enough toe in at the back. Corners at higher speeds present another problem, becuase there is a lot of rear lift at high speed, which increases the car's tendency to over steer (and over respond to steering inputs).

A good rear wing can help cancel the rear lift. More rear toe-in *might* help over bumpy surfaces.

Get a high rise rear wing, front splitter and front/rear bumper canards.
