S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

Why only -2 camber if you're going to run a offset ball joint in the front? I also recommend you go straight to the S2.
I have the same set up but I am lowered about 1 to 1.5 inches. I just did a slight roll all around. and trimmed by fender liner.

Thanks
IMO, the CR has excellent balance from the factory, even with non-staggered tires. I run stock all around.

I do want more wing though...

I finally was able install my TSW Nurburgring 17x9 +63 and 255 star specs on my completely stock CR, absolutely no rubbing issues whatsoever. The front grip is a nice improvement; especially in the lower speeds.

I made zero modifications to the car, no fender tab modifications at all. I verified that I am not rubbing during very hard cornering on a mountain run last weekend. However, It turns out I was not 100% correct as I was driving in a parking garage yesterday and found when I turn the wheel as far as it can go I get a small bit of rubbing against the A-Arm, but that is not a problem IMO

On a side note, I am not 100% sure what the alignment is, I assume it is what Honda recommends as I bought the car as a certified pre-owned; Alignment is my next step now that I have the tires.

If you don't track the car, you won't rub those 2 fender tabs away, likewise, you won't rub any portion of your fenders. The a-arm rub is normal for +63 offset. Just turn the steering wheel full look and bring it back a few degrees and you should be okay.
