lol TIRE PRESSURE@#$%@#$%
here's my personal experience...when i picked up my s2000 i was kinda surprised that when i took it up to 70 mph on the highway it felt unstable like a clown car with miss shapen wheels...it was a super windy day with like 20mph gusts...the kind that will actually move your car when they hit...so i attributed it to that...i noticed my back tire was a little low but it didn't look bad at all(low profile tires can be super low and not look low at all) so i decided i'd look at it the next day...what would happen is i'd floor it and the car would hardcore jerk to the one side..then i'd let off the gas and it would hardcore jerk to the other side...i was getting this sick sensation in my stomach thinking there was something majorly wrong with the car so i searched the forums and everyone was screaming tire pressure...low and behold the tire i thought was only a few psi low was sitting at around 8.5psi. it was the passenger side rear.. i'm really lucky i didn't f'ing die and i cursed out the dealer i bought my car from. i really couldn't believe they let someone drive off the lot with a tire that low.....

alright so i got home, my dad being the guy he is never checked it.
so i took it to 7-Eleven and checked it
the right rear tire was a good 15psi less then the rest.
after filling it up, no problems!
so i'm gonna say if anyone ever has this problem again, check ur tire pressure.
thanks for the feed back!
