Ok, well I'm lowered on a set of FA 500s and they have pretty much settled. I installed them about 8 months ago. I finally went to Honda today after the car had major tire wear on the rear and got an alignment done. Had them get it as close to stock as possible without any extra camber/toe kits. What all do I need to do to get this car closer to stock settings?

Current specs:

Front-
Cross Camber: -0.8*
Cross Caster: -0.2*
Cross SAI: 0.8*
Total Toe: -0.2*

Rear-
Cross Camber: -1.5*
Total Toe: 2.00*
Thrust Angle: -0.01*

Any help is appreciated!

A competent tech will be able to dial in oem alignment and tire wear you can live with when only lowered 1". From my experience excessive toe will kill your tire life, and a little negative camber wont hurt for handling. Now, what is your alignment in assuming degrees?

I agree with the above. A competent alignment shop will be able to hit stock settings if you are only lowered one inch. J wouldn't take my S2000 to any Honda dealer for anything, much less an alignment (unless you personally know the tech doing the work and know he knows what he is doing).

I take mine to a fellow autocrosser who knows specifics of S2000's and he does an excellent job of taking his time and hitting the exact specs I ask for. J would ask around you local forum to see if anyone has a personal recommendation of where you can go.

I LOL'd when I read you waited 8 months for the suspension to settle then to get an alignment....

it takes a week max of normal driving to settle, what a waste of tires.

Who installed the coilovers ?
