After testing out no rear sway bar and liking the results I decided to search for a mazda NC mx5 front sway bar. Bit of a weird thing to search for but definitely useful for the S2000 as shown my many autocrossers and track guys in the USA. See the NC front sway bar fits onto the rear of the S2000 with 2 minor modifications and being considerably smaller it helps keep the rear planted in tight turns.
The hope was that the NC bar would keep all the positive attributes the car had with no rear bar (no open diff, gradual rotation of the rear end) but help with the understeer bias and keeping the rear connected/rotating with the front end that I felt it lacked in some corners at smsp.
Lucky for me a local shop in Sydney had one bar in stock off a wreck so I picked that up for a steal and got to work fitting it to the S2000.
All up there was maybe 30mins of work to get the bar to fit so a very quick and easy DIY. Let's hope the results are there!
