Hey people I was taking to a guy that's owns a wheel alignment place about the s. And he was saying that he can make my s handle even better by giving it a fast road setup as he called it. I'm all stock. Would it be worth doing or is he just try to get my money?? Thanks guys.

Post up the specs he proposes using.

If he offers the settings to use, and you don't like the way it handles, he should be willing to set it back to stock for no additional cost.

When was the last time you had an alignment? If its been a while, this could be a good way to try more aggressive settings at low risk (since you can get it set back to stock).

One thing to consider, no free lunch. More aggresive settings come at the expense of increased tire wear. If you think the current handling is more than fine, and don't have budget for more frequent tires, why mess with the current setup? On the other hand if its just a fun weekend car that doesn't rack up many miles, that may not matter.

 

also which MY s2000 do you own?

 

my s2000?? 2003 pre facelift is that what you mean. And it's my everyday car. And I don't know when it was last done as I have only had it since November it seem to drive okay and in a dead line lol.

Max out front and rear camber: should be around -1.8 f and -2.5 r. Max caster, zero toe front and 1/8" total toe rear. Consider getting an Eibach or whiteline front swaybar. Should handle great

 

max out the camber?? aint that gonna eat tyres? do you have any pics?? thanks

 

Max camber on a stock car is going to be ~1.5 front, 2.5 rear (+/-.5). That isn't going to be too bad on tires *IF* toe is kept reasonable. Or you could just ask for -1 front and -2 rear, that would be a decent street setup.

Toe is way more critical, and the dreaded "UK spec" rear toe is imo TOTALLY out to lunch at 40' or 0.67 degrees or about 1/4" total rear toe. That will kill your rear tires in a big hurry even with minimal camber.

Agree with toe spec from tcjensen above: zero front, 1/8" total rear toe (~0.28 degrees total). Could even go with less, I typically go with 0.2 degrees total in back. I have -2 rear camber, and my RS-3 rear tires (not known for longevity!) are at about 19k miles, not quite to the wear bars
