^ That's clearly wrong. Adding a stiffer front bar equals more understeer; that's the whole reason all the competition front bars for the S2000 are stiffer than stock.

according to this website, stiffer front and softer back would give you more oversteer.

That is 100% backwards.

As others have said, that's incorrect. The site is actually correct, it just appears that you're reading it incorrectly. Under the site's "Oversteer Corrections" lable, it lists "Soften rear shocks."

Therefore softer rear = less oversteer.
