My sig is too big for me to edit (because of my club links) so AK has to do it for me.

For suspension I am running:

Steeda Sport springs
Steeda HD upper strut mounts w/ GT500 isolators
Koni Yellows
Fays2 Watts Link
275/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around

Speaking of the Super Sports, I am so impressed with them I think they will be my choice for the S2000 over the Star Specs. While the Star Specs might be faster in the dry the PSS ride smoother and should last longer. And if it has to be driven in rain the wet performance is superior.

ah I see...

so Steve, questions for you.

Is it worth it for me to upgrade my rear sway bar?

Did you notice a big difference going to 275s around?

Yeah I heard good things about Super Sports... I'm still leaning towards keeping my oem pzeros for now tho. Car only has 900 miles on her!

Rear bar... I always felt like the stock bar was plenty big enough. I feel no need to make a change there.

275s... generally a lot more grip.

Super Sports. They are Super Awesome but if the PZeros are still fresh, keep them. They are good tires.

The single best suspension mod you can make on the 5.0 is the shocks. The car is underdamped and needs something better. Koni Yellows are awesome but if you don't want/need adjustability the non-adjustable STR.T "orange" line is still a vast improvement over stock.
