Aside from the increased oversteer, an S2000 with a stock front bar, and stiffer rear bar will not be able to put power down around a corner. The rear bar will lift the inside rear wheel off of the ground around corners. The torsen LSD won't help if a wheel is lifted.

I run my Comptech bar on the street at full stiff (hole #5, no second bolt) and don't find it at all inappropriate. I suppose it would be interesting to drive a stock car and mine back-to-back to verify what I think I feel but I don't sense understeer...
