<sigh> The *front* swaybar is the straight one; the *rear* bar has to bend to get around the fuel tank.

Good luck with that reinstallation -- let us know how many suspension bits they have to break to get the bars on.

I received a e-mail from neuspeed today and they assured me that their website pictures are correct and the sway bars can actually be installed even though they are switched.
According to what I just looked at 5 minutes ago on my car sitting in my garage, the front OEM swaybar is straight in the middle and the rear OEM bar has a bend to clear the well in the trunk. The front one is larger in diameter too. But, I guess it doesn't matter what we say here, you're going to believe an aftermarket vender rather than the cumulative wisdom of several S2000 enthusiasts that have done extensive work on their vehicles .

Please report back after you approach the shop for the re-installation. It's likely to be a very amusing anecdote.

Sorry if I've offended anyone by not taking their word for it but please understand that I'm stuck in the middle with 2 different imformations given to me.

As much as I believe that the front bar should be the straight bar (if it's the bar with the bend in the middle than it will hit my AEM CAI and hence not fit) I still can't get over the fact the Neuspeed insist that my bars are switched.

My appointment is tomorrow so I guess we'll all find out if the ppl at neuspeed are right. I'll post here then with the conclusion......

Don't you folks realise that neuspeed is the definitive authority on s2000'sa? And that webpages are always correct?

My humble apologies............I just looked up the comptech sway bars and they look exactly the same as the neuspeed ones.....even down to the exact shape of it.

Based on the pictures of the comptech sway bars my current set up is correct, the sway bars are where they should be. I have panicked over nothing due to neuspeed's and my lack of knowledge.

To all the individuals here who have given me the correct answer I thank you and vow never to question the intelligence of the S2KI enthusiasts ever again...........
as for punishment of my defiance I shall do it the traditional ways of my ancestors till the break of dawn........ ... .... ...

I wouldn't go that far. Everybody is wrong occasionally. The important thing is that you listen to the people that have the most knowledge, and you confirm that the reasoning behind their statement is correct, and then you think about which statements are most correct. Once you've done all that, it'll become apparent who is wrong and who is right.

Glad you got this sorted out and don't have to stress any more.
