Thank You Les Schwab
On November 12th I took my S2000 in for an aggressive alignment after I had installed my Ground Control coilovers. They did a decent job, but not what I expected. Basically they said they could only get -2.3 camber on the left rear and -2.1 on the right, and I ended up with slight toe out in front vs zero toe. In all the settings were OK but not what I had asked for. And the tech told me that he could not get anymore camber out of the rears.
I called this morning and asked them to take another whack at the settings that I originally wanted. They said no problem, it would be no charge regardless. Well, here are the results, EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR:
Front camber -1.3 L -1.3 R
Front caster 6.6 L 6.6 R
Front toe .01 L .01 R
Rear camber -2.5 L -2.5 R
Rear toe .11 L .12 R
So I guess it pays to be persistent. They were good about it and could not explain why the first tech had a problem. Now for some enjoyable tire wear at the track.

First settings were -2.3 L and -2.1 R. Car is at stock ride height. I measured it today and its within 1/8" of where it was the first time around. 
. Someone may have just had a bad morning. Despite all the high tech machines and all, it is still an art.
