Actually everyone nowdays is going to the Les Scwab in Antelope. Ask for Dustin and tell him that Andy, Jet, Drew, and Mike sent you. They do a lot of S2000s there and everyone has been happy. I think they have that new alignment machine at it runs $70 or so? Andy or anyone else care to chime in on price? I'm going to get mine done as soon as I get my Teins installed.

Settigns - 2-2 1/2% rear, 1.5% front per Andy.

Not sure on toe adjustment - Andy or anyone else care to comment?

Les Schwab Antelope - Ask For Dustin
is this the spec that our s2000 should have?

That's what a lot of owners with lowered suspensions are running. Andy has his at 2% Rear and 1.5% front and wishes he was at 2.5% rear. That might a bit aggressive for me but - all the guys who have lowered suspensions at these settings say the handling is great.

Warning - you will get more uneven tire wear with more aggressive camber.

As soon as I get the Teins installed. Maybe 2-3 weeks max...

I never done an alignment before, so how does it work? Do the tech that align your car ask you what adjustment you would like? Or does he align it according to the specs in the book?

I think it's whichever you prefer. I'm getting more aggressive camber b/c of my larger 18" wheels and suspension.
