Default Camber adjustment

I was wondering where I could take my car to get my cambers adjusted? Im dropped only a 1" but I still am noticing uneven tire wear.

Also, does anyone know what the best specs to set them to are?

Thanks

Get your car aligned at P-Tuning in Manassas

I have had my car aligned, but that didnt fix the problem. As for P tunning i think they are way to overpriced for there quality of any work. When I wanted to get my supercharger removed they quoted me at $1700. Thats just bogus

The standard alignment of the S2000 will cause uneven tire wear. It is, however, not significant.

Now, if you have MAJOR uneven wear (like the inside is bald but the outside still has 30+% tread left) your alignment is off. I suggest you have it checked again. Any shop should give you a free or low cost check and printout that you can then check against your desired numbers.

I guess what I am asking is how bad is the wear? Got pics???

thats a rather bold statement to say they are overpriced on their work. their alignment prices are very competitive and their quality of work(for alignments), equipment is outstanding. labor is not cheap no matter where you go.

How much do they cost? It generally costs alot more for an alignment that adjusts camber then one with a non-camber ajustable honda like a civic.

they charge $125 for a 4 wheel alignment with ballast (so your alignment is exact when you're in the car instead of out of it) to your exact specifications.

Ultimate charges $180
Curry's charges ~$200 IIRC

You don't even want to know what I paid [Read, "I got HOSED."] at a race shop in Purcellville.

pTuning is a GREAT value for this sort of thing.

Their alignment pricing is excellent! $125 for a spec alignment... if anyone has a place that can beat that and get printed results let me know.
