Spray wd40 on the bushings of the sway bar and you will be ok.

WD40 contains petroleum distillates and I would not spray it on anything that is rubber, plus it is not a good lubricant. The bushings in the S2000 are bonded to a metal sleeve and are press-fit into the suspension a-arms. They should not squeak if everything is tightened up properly.

Did you pre-load the suspension when you installed the coilovers? If not, I would start there and make sure that all other components of the suspension are snugged properly.

If you must lubricate suspension components use the correct type of rubber or urethane lube.

Agree, don't use WD-40!
