Better to Hi Jack than to give misinformation Coilover kits for our cars do not come with adjustable camber plates like you mentioned (atleast for the Buddy Club RS). Camber adjustments are made on the lower control arms. The pillow ball mounts are there to replace soft rubber mounts and have direct metal to metal contact.

sorry for the newbie question, but can someone briefly explain the major difference between track performance and street performance...it makes me think that i won't be able to whip my s2k around the backroads as well

I was talking about the Cusco mounts, not the Buddy Club ones. I talked to a vendor who told me the Cusco mounts were adjustable, but now I'm not so sure -- I was looking to get more neg camber than I could w/ the stock setup and I didn't trust the adjustable front control arms yet, so I was going to go this route. Long story short the mounts never made it here and I'm now wondering if they are adjustable for S2000s, the vendor told me all Cusco mounts were adjustable but I saw a Skyline w/ a set at the track, they were not adjustable.... Sorry for the confusion.

Conditions you will find on the street such as uneven pavement, small bumps, potholes, torn up asphalt and large dips necessitate higher ride height and softer springs. On most tracks you can run lower ride height and harder springs because those conditions do not exist. A lower ride height lowers your center of gravity, making side to side transitions quicker. Higher spring rates alone do not confer much advantage, especially past a certain point, but the lower a car goes the more spring rate you will need to avoid bottoming. The advantage higher springs gives you is in keeping the car level during hard turns which enables more tire contact with less camber. The lower your camber, the better for the straightaways. Regardless, on our cars, the most spring a very high quality street tire can take advantage of is about 10 kg/mm.

Bump Steer is when your wheels steer themselves without input from the steering wheel. The undesirable steering is caused by bumps in the track interacting with improper length or angle of your suspension and steering linkages.
