I have a 2005 s2000. I picked up some tires and decided to get it aligned. The last time( 2 years ago) I had an alignment it was fine. This time, the rear toe could not be brought to speck. Is there something I should be changing or should I try a different shop? I have attached my alignment for reference. Any help is appreciated. I am confused as how to correct this.
Judging by the note on the sheet....it seems that the tech may have been confused as to which adjuster moves what. The rear camber/toe relationship is funny on this car. A lot of people turn the wrong adjuster for the wrong thing.
Is your car lowered or modified, and is there any accident damage?
All stock. No accidents. You might be right. Maybe I’ll try taking it someplace else. The guy that took my car in said he hasn’t seen a s2000 there before. I thought he was making conversation.

And as he got on under the car, he probably also thought "I haven't seen so many different bolts that all affect and adjust the alignment. Caster? WTF? That's adjustable????"
Agree that they may have been confused on how to adjust. If it previously adjusted to spec, and you have not done anything crazy with changes to parts or crashed the car, it should be able to be aligned to spec now. There is a bit of chasing some of the settings on this car, mostly on the front with Caster/Camber but there are cross effects in the rear as well when adjusting one setting or the other.
