The ap1 had a rear bais spring rate to promote oversteer. In it's early years the S2000 was meant to be pure competition in the sports car scene. However only old people could afford them, so enough old people complained about how hard it was to control the car and thus the Ap2 was born. With a front bais suspension setup and a few other suspension geometry points changed around to make the car easier to control.
They also complained about the lack of torque, the cheap feeling interior, the shitty sound system, ect. So those are a few more perks of the Ap2 over the Ap1. The Ap2 never proved to be a better or worse car in terms of competition though.
