Default S2000 autocross setup

Yes I did a search...

Just wondering what the national competitors are doing for the basic setup tricks (in addition to the big buck shocks).

Sway bar? What diameter? Do they rip the car apart?

Tire sizes?

The S2000 is on my short list of good daily drivers/stock class autocrossers/relatively affordable (used), so I'm just curious.

Sounds like the ones that get driven hard also break a lot (lots of blown axles and diffs?)

Any good forums where these things actually get discussed?

Scott

Note that in Stock class, you can only add/change/remove the front anti-roll bar. The rear must remain stock.
