Default suspension difference between 00 and 02

i personally have an 02.. i drove an 00 before..
i realize the suspension setting change on the 02..
personally i think 00 is more fun..
but i am just wondering if the difference is big or not..
btw i took 02 down to the coarse it was awesome...
just wondering would 00 or 01 be even better

ask someone with a stock 00-01 if you can drive it. Only difference I noticed was that the rear snapped out easier.

The UK Press release for the S2000 stated ".. for 2002, there is a significant change in the suspension

See the fourth post for the exact measurements of the swaybars for all the model years.

yeah. . no wonder.. i think 00-01.. would be a better setting .. cuz the 02 i got i think it's got less oversteer... which i don't think is good..
but for the street reason i guess .. but 00 of my friends.. i think is more fun.. eventhough the differece isn't that big

Umm don't forget that you can completely change your handling characteristics by your alignment settings which are fully adjustable out of the box in the s2000 -

Arguably you could dial in alot more of that oversteer that you desire by realignment.
