Go with the UK alignment specs:

(pulled from Rob's website) - it's a great resource. http://robrobinette.com/S2000RaceCar.htm

I went with max front camber (-1.3*), max front caster, and 0 front toe. In the rear I went with -2.3* camber, and .13"(in inches, per-side) toe in.

-Connor

PS- nobody in the R&C forum will EVER tell you that an alignment is a waste of money..it the one of the most essential keys to a well-setup car.

Probably classed in STR with the lowering springs.

To the OP, being that low you might find yourself on the unpredictable part of the suspension travel curve. It's a pretty simple thing to have stock springs put on so that you'll be in "street tire B-stock."
