Multi-quote versus replying to a post that includes a reply to an earlier post?
Multi-Quote is to select different posts. They'd appear as a a separate boxed quote on your post and you'd enter your response to each boxed quote separately. This feature exists on several forums and is new to us at S2KI. People on 8thCivic love it.
Replying to a post - Prior to the upgrade when you hit reply to a post that included a reply to someone else or a boxed quote, the software would only pick up the content that the person typed and not anything else that was referred to. Maybe there was a demand from people to include all the quotes and replies to earlier posts, which is why courtesy of the Upgrade we have the box within a box within a box.
I like the multi-quote feature but it does not work for me like it does on 8thCivic. On 8thCivic you click the multi-quote button on all the posts you want to reply and on the very last post that you want to quote, you hit reply. The add reply screen that pops up will now display all the posts you wanted to respond to. Does not work the same on S2KI or maybe I need to configure browse settings or perhaps Im doing it wrong.
As far as the replying to a post, I think it gets bulky especially when people start quoting posts with images. Perhaps keeping it the old way would have been better, but not so much of an eyesore to keep me away.

I am confused by all of that....
Maybe it's good for people who are old and can't follow a conversation
But for me it's just a bunch of repeated stuff taking up space
When I hit reply, I often delete some of the text or the IMG info so as not to have a huge reply or duplicate postings of the images. It does get bulky.
And if I get tired of all the quotes of the responses, I just add this "^" to my response, hoping folks know I'm replying to the above post. Of course that does not always work if someone else beat me to a reply.

I happen to love the balance of my car as it is
Sway bars going disproportionally thicker/stronger front to back are going to screw up the balance
And, I also believe in the age ole wisdom of, do one suspension mod at a time
If you make several changes all at once you will never know exactly what each one does by itself
If several mods are made at once and you decide you don't like the handling characteristics, you will have no definitive answer on what mod caused the characteristic you don't like
Just add the springs and get your alignment redone
If you think the car needs more after that, then you will know exactly what characteristic you want from the swaybars and will be able to shop wisely
IMHO

Mark - https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/index.php...f=133&t=351694
Late AP1 ('02-'03):
F: 26.5x4.5mm (P/N: 51300-S2A-013)
R: 27.2x4.5mm (P/N: 52300-S2A-J01)
Eibach
Front bar diameter: 32mm
Rear bar diameter: 29mm
I get a 20.75% increase in the front and a 6.61% increase in the rear
And the handy dandy pocket guide to high performance handling says the following
ADJUSTMENT - TO DECREASE OVERSTEER
Front Anti-Sway Bar - Stiffer/thicker
Rear Anti-Sway Bar - Soften/thinner
To me those sway bars are going to decrease the oversteer characteristic, which is another way of saying it is going to add a lot of understeer to the car.
Some of that might be adjusted out as they claim the bars are adjustable, but I still think the only way to go is one suspension change at a time.
I would hate my S2000 if it was tuned to feel like a plowing FWD car...
