again, reverting to stock suspension will be your cure. the s2000 becomes light in the rear on a stiffer suspension setup and with the power you are making. Call inline pro, all of there drag cars run stock suspension for this very reason. I originally called them when I was having this very issue and they told me they could not keep the car straight towards the end of the track either(100+ mph) with a few different coilover setups and once the car had been put back to stock suspension wise there were no issues.
So what ur saying is every guy in the racing and competition forum that runs track events and hits 100plus on the straights with there aftermarket suspensions has an uncontrollable car?
I have tein ra on my car and had it pegged in 6th gear. Car was stable.
Joey ur alignment or tires are an issue. Or something broke or wore out.
U were fine till new tires so I think it's pressure or alignment related.

Did i say everybody would have this issue? clearly not. I am just stating from personal experience with the same power and tq numbers that this is most likely the cause. I had tein src's and once i went from a greddy kit at 330whp to my new setup, the car would not hook. Plain and simple. The hp and tq come on too hard/fast and disrupt the rear tires causing the car to loose traction. the softer stock rear suspension enables more weight to be transfered to the rear wheels, thus keeping traction loss to a minimum.

I'd look at what has changed since the last time he drove the car, and that change is the tires. If he had no issues before, and now is, the likely suspects are either the wheels weren't balanced correctly, the tire pressure is off, they weren't installed correctly or there is a tire defect. A badly rutted road, ie tramlining could also be a factor, but I'd look at the things you recently changed first.

Im running hankook v12 evo tires and EVERY time I swap out the rears for new ones it does this for the first thousand miles or so. I think I even made a thread about it on s2ki somewhere, I was with alanpikku though, it happens to me around 80mph, gets all floaty and its REALLY hard to control the direction of the car. Once the tires get worn in a little bit then it will go away. The first time, i got an alignment, lowered the tire psi, got REaligned because it still didnt go away, finally said f*ck it and was just careful, then it eventually went away. If your not hurting in the wallet maybe just do a big burnout real quick and see if it makes it better 
However I wouldnt rule out some of the suggestions these (probably way more experienced) guys are giving, as I dont remember having this problem for about the first 2 years of having the car, and now it does it every time i get new tires, (im on espelirs ASDs) so maybe you, myself and a few others just have some worn suspension parts that could be causing it to do this when we get new tires?

If the "outside" is on the outside then the direction is fine. How much camber are you running? it can take a while for the tyres to wear into the camber. the contact patch is a lot smaller untill the tyres have worn into it.
