What area are you from, OP? Any competent shops/techs that "specialize" in S2000's or modded Hondas in your area?

If you're in/near chicagoland, I know a few.

Chicago isn't that nice this time of year lol.

I spent some time in ABQ...but not enough to know where to get anything done. Have you tried posting in the regional forums to see if there's a good S2000 shop that people go to?

Again...I had nothing but good luck at Firestone. And Merlin's.

I wouldn't be able to see it, unfortunately. I'm always on the mobile site.

So I have an update. The ride height is at 14 inches measuring from the center of the wheel to the fender lip. I took it to firestone and got the lifetime alignment (thanks for the recomendation). this is what i got back. They were not able to adjust the driver rear to green specs.... Something must be bent. But nothing has obvious signs of damage.

With that much neg camber and that much toe out...yeah, something is probably bent or busted.

they couldn't adjust camber OR toe? I understand that if they adjust toe positive, camber will go further negative...is that the best blend of both angles that they could achieve?

And it explains your tire wear.

Does the car wander to the right?

acording to the tech, that was the best option adjusting both camber and toe. No, I dont notice much shifting eather left or right while driving. But then again I dont drive it much, is my girlfriends daily driver.

Maybe someone slid into a curb at some point, and clipped the back of the LR tire. That would toe it out. They probably had to crank the camber adjuster fully negative to bring the toe to where it is.

But...dang...that would be a badly bent spindle if that were the case.

Try getting a spindle from an eBay junkyard. I got a pair of AP2 spindles for $200 shipped from TAE auto on eBay. Look at the photos and pick a clean one. Make sure its AP2.

Sounds good. I will post an update in a week or so. Thanks for all the help. I saw one on ebay that includes the knuckle, and control arms for $190. If I cant find a cheaper one I guess that one will work. looks good and the seller has 100% positive feedback...
