Body roll...eliminating/reducing
I'm trying to reduce body roll on my S. I've got lowering springs but I still want less body roll.
Anti-roll bar & sway bar the same thing?
I'm thinking an aftermarket sway bar would help reduce body roll. If so, which would you suggest?
Any drawbacks on this mod?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions/comments

The S2000 doesn't roll too much in stock form but I understand what you're after.
Keep in mind that reducing roll would mean a lot of things gets stiffened and the stress that normally gets absorbed by the suspension now takes it toll on the tires and chassis. This may result in a lot of unwanted/unnecessary hopping and bouncing on the open streets and instability during wet conditions.

In order of effectiveness:
- Stiffer springs (higher rate)
- Lower springs (reduced ride height)
- Larger front and rear sway bars
- 18" rims with low profile tires
The S2000's chassis is already pretty stiff, so there is minimal gain in the various reinforcements (strut tower, front lower x-brace, rear lower x-brace). A major weight loss program would also reduce body roll, but it's not particularly easy in this car.

I would think that meatier anti-roll bars would offer the highest amount of performance you seek - but unless you are really willing to try various combos, you could end up with less roll and worse handling. Heim jointed adjustable types would be best for experimentation. But too stiff and you will lose some wheel side to side compliancew, so that a severe load (say a big bump) on one side of the car will now more greatly affect the others side, since large anti-roll bars essentially lock them.
