Good update

The way I understand it right now, caster is limited the lower you go ... there was a thread by a circuit racer in Dubai or somewhere that max'd out his caster at 6 degrees, and wanted to go down to like 8 or 10, he had to get an SPC Ball Joint to get it to work.

Whenever I get my car set up right to install the TC Design rear control arms, I'll take some pics so people can see what you're talking about w/ suspension angle on the rear.

Camber is increasingly Negative the lower you go....and with stock adjusters I have found that I have been maxing out the camber adjusters with UK spec requests and not being able to reach the 2.0 Marker.

I Have noticed that it is easier to reach higher amounts of caster on the non-lowered S2000's than it is on the lowered ones.

(You switched from caster to camber in the post its slightly confusing? did you do this on purpose?)

After fixing the post I do agree with you the lower you go the harder it is to push caster out of S2ks....and the amount it is limited varies AP1 and AP2 aswell....
