And I guess what many people don't realize is that stiffer is not always better for the less experienced driver.

The stiffer your car is, the less margin of error you get. IMHO the S2000 is stiff enough for sporty driving. Unless you're going to race the car, it might not be a good idea to stiff up the car.

Sure you can lower your car, install X-braces, use 35 profile tires, etc etc. But a small mistake on a corner can be very costly with that kind of setup.

Lupin is correct, stiffer is not always better. Here is how I would go about it.

1. Upper strut bar (Car does not come equipped with one and it is a necessary upgrade)
2. Rear tie bar ( The rear tie is channeled steel and twistable.
3. Front tie bar (Is made of pipe welded in by Honda is not pretty, but it works.) I have modified, but did not feel as much difference as the upper strut bar.
4. Upgrade to 31mm Mugen front sway bar.
5. Upgrade to a quality coilover system which delivers improved rebound damping and still allows the stock suspension travel.
(This is where my car's modified to right now and it's almost perfect)
Last: Remove your steering rack (4 bolts & electric plug) and remove your uprights. Ship them to King Motorsports where they will mill your rack to lower it, add hard rubber bushings to it, and fabricate the ball joints to sit higher than stock ($500) My rack goes up to King in mid-August.
That's everything I'm aware of. The suspension is good stock. I would either stay there, or build a quality set-up. Anything in between may be very disapointing.
