Ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 (since they were on sale). Car is now stable.
Honda parts reviews
Please run proper UHP tires on your S2000 - Toyo, Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama all make amazing UHP tires and you can't go wrong with them. I went from my AP1 wheels with Potenza S001 tires to AP2 V1 wheels with Toyo Proxes T1 Sport and both sets offered great grip. No weird or unexpected behavior.
I replaced the alternator on my 2012 Odyssey the day before yesterday. Rebuilt Denso (I saw several suggestions online to -not- stray from Denso for this vehicle). was\\~$250 at Napa, after I got my core deposit back.
Icons have been good for me over several years and different cars. Last time on my car they were out of Icons so they cut me a deal on the Tricos. They're not bad -- they don't clear the windshield as well as the Icons for me but they've lasted far longer than I expected.
Brake pads and rotors for the fit i prefer OEM since they last around 60,000km. I paid less than that including fluid changes at a shop in the Toronto area.
On the two Hondas I leased, all I did other than oil changes was switch out the tires on my Accord coupe V6/6-speed after one got punctured. I wanted to do it anyway; the stock tires sucked, and the one thing the car did great was accelerate, so I put a set of Michelin Super Sports on it. It stopped acting like I was waterboarding it with high-RPM shifts into 2nd after that.
Ball Joints: We use TRW
The brakes were so-so, and it had lots of torque steer, and benefited greatly from an aftermarket and much stiffer rear ARB, which improved its turn in and corner habits tremendously.
I am still kind of unhappy with Hankook and I'll probably avoid this brand in future. That said, it looks like my Hankook tires with 60k treadwear warranty were worn literally to ground in less than 25k miles in 3 years.
I used to think Honda is great until we had a CRV. It was a piece of crap. It shakes at low speed or highway speed. The dealer was so incompetent and kept asking us to replace tires, wheels all at our own cost but the problem was still there.
