Hey guys i was wondering what is the best way to modify my suspension without lowering it and voiding my suspension warranty. I was thinking of doing front and rear sways and x-brace. Is there anything else i can do that wont void my warranty?

Also i will be tracking my car and also DDing it. BTW i have a ap2

Will the neuspeed front and rear 30mm sways work on an 07?

Don't bother with the rear sway bar or x-brace. A stiffer front would be good. Cusco, Saner, etc...

To eliminate body roll you will need to do a lot more than a swaybar (or x-brace...which won't reduce body roll). You'll need to change the springs/shocks (many like the KW v3 coilover for that).

What kind of tracking? It all depends on what class you're going to be running in, if the goal is to have a competitive track car. If you're going to autocross and are planning on staying in the lower classes, maybe going with a set of Koni shocks and an adjustable front sway bar would be a good start, if you change springs you could jump into a class where you are no longer competitive anymore. I would say to stay away from the Neuspeed stuff, it's not very good anyway and most guys who track their S2000s a decent amount either get a super-stiff front sway bar or ditch the rear sway bar, or maybe both?

Also, what kind of budget are you on? We could tell you to pick up a set of Motons that would be amazing, but you might not want to spend $6-10k on a set of coilovers. You could get a set of Buddy Club Racing Specs that a lot of people like for the track for $1200-1500 that are plenty stiff until you learn the intricacies of the S2000. I would honestly advise against the KWv3s or something intense like that until you really know the car or have a really good suspension tuner available, b/c it's very easy to screw up the car with so much adjustability.
