Last summer I picked up a 2004 S2000 to use for track days and weekend use. Within the first month I swapped the dryrotting stock tires (14K miles) for 225/255 RE-11's. I went thru the brakes with ATE fluid, XP10/8 pads, new centric blanks, SS lines, and added cooling ducts. I also added a harddog rollbar with the low harness bar. My car has 1.6F and 2.0 rear negative camber, 6.0 caster, zero front toe and 1/8" rear toe.

I did several track days with the car set up like this. After bending a front wheel on track I swapped the front wheels to AP2 rears. (still using 225/255 RE-11's) This setup significantly improved steering feel, and increased oversteer a bit more than I like. To reduce oversteer I have a Saner FSB waiting to be installed.

I am now planning out what I want to do with the car next and I would like feedback from the R&C drivers to make sure I am going down the right track.

Any other suspension mods/ setup changes I should consider now? My long term plan is to add either KWv3 or Challenge + coilovers, but safety equipment is the next major expense I am planning for. I may try out NASA TT in the future or just stick with HPDE3/4, not sure for now.

I am considering ordering the following safety items in the next few weeks. Can anyone tell me more about Cobra seat fitment in a S2K? Searching hasn't got me much, and this is alot of money for me to spend and not know if it will all fit.

I will be removing the OEM belts/bulkhead/center compartment/and rollhoops. I will be adding
- Cobra Evolution std. seat for the drivers side ( will the halo fit in a car with no console/cubby?)
- Cobra Imola GT for the passenger side (too wide to fit?)
- Buddy Club rails
- Schroth ASM FE 4 pt belts with 2pt sub belt option
- 6 backing plates (2 for the inside lapbelt, 4 for the subbelts, do I need more or less. I plan to use the stock lap belt outer bolt location)
- Safety Solutions Hybrid Pro Rage head and neck restraint

let me know what you think

why cobra seats?

I've sat in seats by Recaro, Sabelt, OMP, Sparco, and Cobra at race shops and tracks over the last year and I have been most impressed with Cobra seats.

Cobra's kevlar seats are noticably stiffer than FRP seats by the other brands, and I also think the quality of their cloth seat material is better and likely to last longer.

You can replace / reskin race seats pretty easily.
