Default Suspension Components?

What suspension components can you add to the s2000 (for circuit racing)? not coilovers!

underbody bar/brace, sway bar, tower bar, camber kit, bushings, etc...

-Name of Component & manufacturer?
-Where does it go?
-What does it do? (help body rigidity,understeer/oversteer,etc...)

Your help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance!

Take a look in the Racing and Competition FAQ's. Lots of info there...

Well Ben,

You should add:
front sway bar, best bang is Saner bar, Comptech if you have the $$$$ to spend
X brace by spoon

I read up on these and they should eliminate quite a bit of body roll. Rear sway bar is usually no good because they are rear drive cars and the back end will swing out too easily. Everybody is saying that the X-brace is the best mod and you will feel the difference, it tightens the car together.

They have other bars, like a three point under bar, I forgot who it's from but I read that you may feel it at high speed turns, otherwise not much difference and the cost is up there.

Other than that, wider tires.

I agree with probert..best thing to do is tighten the chassis further (as if its not already stiff) ....stock suspension is already wonderfull and well balanced for track duty....

Especially for track duty dont forget R-Compounds
