Great article. So people are adding Sway Bars to there S2000 to compensate for the oversteer the car experiences?

I am very pleased with the performance of my new Comptech bar. I was at Sebring last weekend, and the car felt much better balanced than it did the last time I was there. The biggest improvement was the increased confidence that I felt. Oh, and I dropped several seconds off of my best lap time too .

BTW, the S2000 has swaybars front and rear, people are substituting different swaybars (usually stiffer), not adding them. Just to clarify.

I'm confused then. What is the name of the bar that crosses over the top of the engine?
If you life up the hood of say, an Eclipse there is a bar that crosses over the entire compartment. I thought that was a sway bar?
