you dont need a camber kit. you can adjust the camber on the s2000 without one

you can only adjust it so much....when I had my coilovers I was running -3.5 on the rear and that was maxed out. On my skunk2's i think im still -3 or-2.5 which I believe is still more then stock. So in some cases a camber kit is required. I dont think there are to many options I know Eibach makes a kit, but I know if you buy a kit you have to run 17" wheels or bigger

ive seen guys running 5 degrees of camber on their stock setups with just coilovers, so i dont see why you would need a camber kit then.

im currently running 3.5 degrees in the rear, and the shop that did my allignment said that they could have gone another 1-1.5 degrees

There is no need for a camber kit. There is no need for one to go back to OEM specs. Most people that lower their cars properly are doing so with performance in mind and with that in mind, they want to run more camber as it is.

Buying a set of camber kits is a complete waste of money.

And you should take your car to a better alignment place, because there is no reason why you have to be running -3.5 on Skunk2 springs. And -2.5 is what many people run who are slammed.

-SPC makes caber kit for s2k
the problem with stock camber adjustment in the front is that the more negative camber you use, you reduce caster. so i'm going to use this kit to keep max caster and still be able to get -3 deg camber that i need for track.
