Default Whiteline front sway bar. Good or not ?

Im looking to decrase the mad oversteer of my AP1 S2000. Since I have my Hankoook RS-2 the oversteer is more present.

If I change the OEM front sway bar, its is a good idea?


Whiteline 30mm heavy duty front sway bar.

It's a decent bar.

BTW...what size RS2 tires are you running?

Does the bar help me to minimize the oversteer?

OEM size, I know the rear need 245, but in Canada we dont get the 245 in the RS2 line-up

Yep, helps the handling a lot. The car's still responsive, still can get the tail out, but it'll tend to mild understeer at times.

Not an issue, it's rather straight forward.

Thumbs up

I have seen this product on Ebay. In the description of the product it says that it will fit MY00-MY04. I assume this means it will bolt on to both an AP1 and AP2. Will this product fit an MY05 AP2? I am guessing the answer is yes. Is anyone out there 100% sure that it will fit an AP2? And, if yes, how did you find out?

Thank you,

Matthew
