I've heard that the s2000 doesn't require a Camber Kit because of electronic steering of something. Is there any truth to this, and if so, how do I get rid of negative camber? (I won't pretend to know much about the suspension of the s2000)

 

the camber is adjustable without a kit, get an alignment.

 

Camber and Alignment are two different things though. Will an Alignment Shop be able to adjust my camber too?

umm.. adjusting the camber is part of getting an alignment...

camber, caster, and toe are all aspects of an alignment.....

the place you get the car aligned at will be able to adjust all three of those things to get it to the alignment specs that you want.

if a place states you need camber kits, take the car someplace else...

 

take it to a good shop, not some ghetto *** place, because not everyone knows how to align s2k's

 

Thank you!

 

you want -camber with an s2000

-1.00 in the front and -2.00 in the rear, if you're feeling frisky.

Thats actually an OEM setting.

Some guys are running -2.5 front/-3 rear. Im going to go -1.5front/ -2 rear

 

the oem settings are -1.5 in the rear and -.5 in the front.

 

I guess it depends on where you're from. -1.0 front and -2.0 rear are the stock UK settings.

do the -2.5 in the rear if you're doing -1.5 up front..

I agree...half a degree difference is not enough...handling will be tipped towards greater oversteer.

I run -2 front and -3 rear.

For street cars, most seem to really like the UK specs.

for the US spec, not the UK settings.

me too. im tucking ap2 rims on level ground

 

Weak sauce!

-1.2 front, -2.0 rear, no toe, 6 caster.

 

No toe front and rear? I have close to no toe in the front (-0.01) but my toe in the rear is 0.15ish. Opinions?

Toe in is good, makes the car drive straight

As for no Toe with the s2000, someone else can chime in.

 

Front: Toe out sharpens turn in and increases stability when braking, but decreases straight line stability at high speeds. I have never heard of anyone running toe-in up front, but it does increase straight line stability, and will decrease the steering sensitivity.

Rear: Stock AP2 specs say -2mm. I run it at 0mm because I like the rear end's behavior at that setting. More toe in would increase cornering stability.
