Here's what the FAQ says:
[QUOTE]2.1.3 ALIGNMENT

A proper alignment is important for autocrossing, and compared to the other changes you'll be making, a bargain at less than $100. Individual alignments vary, but for the AP1 cars, the general consensus falls in the following ranges:

 

Its more common for an S2000 (all models) to be <1.8 than over. Quite a few have come across our local alignment rack and its rare to see one over 1.8 out of the drivers front (outside of damaged arms). I have never seen a stock S2000 that was >2.0 though. My '05 AP2 was maxed at -1.5 and my CR -1.7. The AP2s seem to get more rear camber for some reason.

 

i am running -2.0 in the front of my my02. first time i got it aligned got -1.7 but that was just a local shop, i then took it to a guy who only does race alignments and he was able to get -2

 

My front is maxed out somewhere between 1.7 and 1.8 degrees, but for some reason, we could only get 4.XX caster. =(

 

My last car was only able to get -1.6 or -1.7, depending on the phase of the moon.

 

Personally - I take internet alignments with a grain of salt. They provide a nice place to start from. But I can guarantee that you'll probably be changing it after one or two events.

Alignment racks are very much like dyno's - there is so much that goes into calibration, laser leveling, and manufacturer designs that makes it very very hard to compare from one rack to another.

1.6 on my rack could be 2.0 on yours... etc etc. The biggest thing you want to note is the split between front and rear camber and then what happens when you make a .2deg change in one direction or another.

 

 

True. Fortunately, the recipe for the S is to max out the front and adjust the rear relative to that, so actual readings don't matter much. But it is good to know if you're in the ballpark.

A friend of mine had his AP2 done recently, and ended up with -1.0 in the front. The mechanic said that's all he could get, but just looking at the adjusters you could see there was more room to go. Had he known he was supposed to get -1.5+, things might have turned out differently.

Sounds like the ranges I posted should be widened a bit before they go into the FAQ anyway.
