Speedsport tuning by Danbury airport did an awesome job on my alignment
I thought about calling them, I've been there a couple of times with my other cars, and have been happy. Just didn't think they would be interested in working on the S2K. Thanks.

They were very happy to work on my s2k!! They have helped me with a couple things there, always very willing and interested in working on my car, although my s2k is a bit unique.

Btw Danbury Honda has a very nice alignment system, but you have to talk the service guys up to get custom settings. I was able to have the do it once and then another time they turned me down

I called them, they said yes, but wanted $200+ for the job since it was "custom".

I think I paid 250 at speedsport but gave them very specific specs and they were ok with road testing it and tweaking it. Plus one of the bolts was stuck so they spent an extra 40mins just getting it loose. If you want cheap, Firestone on federal road has lifetime alignments for like 160 or something like that. Not sure if your looking for a track, aggressive street or just standard alignment.

Not looking for cheap, just fair. It will be a track alignment. Auto Technic quoted me $125 if I remember correctly, about the same as the dealer until I said I want it aligned to my specs, then the dealer said $200+. I'll give Speed Sport a call tomorrow and see what they say. I'd have a much easier time with $200 at Speed Sport than the dealer, I know they would get it right. Thanks.

Not 100% on the specs but thinking front, max caster, -1.5 camber, 0 toe. Rear -2.5 camber and 1/4 total toe. Basically an amped up Euro spec alignment.

The car is basically stock, running OEM 16" wheels with StarSpecs, Carbotech XP10 up front, XP8 in the rear, Motul RB F600, and a Hard Dog bar.

Nice! I went with a pretty similiar setup. I think I went a little more agressive in the rear. I also but a heavy 30mm bar up front, but mostly due to the ridiculous power and trying to keep the nose straight. I'm running different wheels/tires 17x10 275s in the rear 17x9 255 up front nt05's. Nice to hear another hard dog running around in the same area. I'm in Ridgefield btw. Also - on the mutol, I'm not sure if this is true or not, I'm running it also, but the guys at EFI told me it needs to be changed very frequently. I've had the same motul in for almost 2 yrs, but only 2 track days. I have to check it.
