Default camber kits

What is the best way to lower the camber on the front wheels? Right now I'm at stock height, front camber is -.25 and rear is like -1 and that is maxed out. I have all 4 ball joints replaced with spc adjustable ball joints but everytime the shop does an alignment they fight the toe while lowering the camber. I'm getting some adjustable toe arms for the rear but I can't find anything for the front besides adjustable control arms for $600+. I bought some clubsports that should be here in a couple days but I really need to decrease my camber in order for my wheel/tire setup to fit when I lower it.

You need to lower it first. Once it is lowered you will be able to dial in more camber.

With adjustable sbc balljoints you should definitely be able to get more negative camber.

Is your alignment guy well versed in the setup of double a arm adjustment? Right now you aren't even hitting the limit of the stock components in terms of negative camber and caster.

Can you post up your full alignment specs?

Where are you located?

You may want to consider finding someone who specializes in race car alignment setup for miatas or something if someone is not an s2000 specialist

find a race shop. youll pay a little more but they will make sure its perfect, this car needs a good alignment. I just got mine done at a local bmw/porsche shop that works on race cars and they spend a good 1.5 hrs doing my alignment. ended up with -2 front -3 rear, max caster they could get i forget what the toe was but it was a small amount in the rear. i cant go any more positive on front camber because I have Js roll centers and extended ball joint. price actually wasnt much more then a regular tire shop.
