Hey… what’s up guys/gals? My name is Chris. I used to live in Richmondville, NY years ago and now live in Phoenix. Back then I hung out with Justin GSR and the other Cobleskill guys. A few weeks ago I bought a 2002 S2000 for a daily/HPDE event car. I also have a 1995 Neon ACR that was SCCA prepped and ran in the Neon Challenge events years ago(Even have the log books :D). Current plans for the S2000 are another set of wheels with some NT-01’s or R888’s, a low sitting seat setup with aftermarket roll bar, and a track event one or two days a month. ![http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261399_2206358162716_1360274750_2539370_1762966_n.jpg](http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261399_2206358162716_1360274750_2539370_1762966_n.jpg) ![http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/190560_1895775158335_1360274750_2150423_3275147_n.jpg](http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/190560_1895775158335_1360274750_2150423_3275147_n.jpg) ---

Depending on how the cars feels I may get a bigger front bar if the rear feels loose. I have a feeling I’m going to be pushing the limits of the stock suspension on R comps, and coilovers will happen eventually. ---

Go to [s2ki.com](http://s2ki.com) and research the front sway bar. If you’re going with a squared setup you’ll need the front sway bar. ---

Sounds like 1.25" or 1.375" solid front will do the trick. What setup do you run on yours Cliff? ---
