Default Still having some issues after hitting curb!

I replaced the upper control arm, lower control arm and knuckle. And today i went to get a alignment after installing the parts my self and they told me that there was still something bent in there but i cant see what it is plus the car is driving fine. Help me out here is the sheet they gave me

Noteworthy: the strut was a real bitch to put back with the new parts... Makes me wonder if it is bent or thats just the way it is.. I had to unbolt the lower control arm and bolt the strut to arm first and then force everything back into place.

I would check the rear subframe, make sure its not bent, it may also have shifted on you depending on how lose the subframe bolts were. I have heard that have a habit of backing out overtime depending on the year of the car. I would also not trust town fair but that is just my prefrence

The s2000 has fully adjustable suspension, the rear will def adjust to spec but you have a front caster issue...your subframe could be pushed back a little, if you need an alignment done let me know, we have a nice flush to the floor alignment rack here at Honda

Did you replace the Toe bar with the A-arms? That could be bent too causing an issue...
