I'll be mounting 245/45/17 (front) Kumho V710's and 275/40/17 (rears) on my AP2 wheels. I have a '06 S2000 with Front comptech adjustable racing sway bar, version 2 (on softest setting).

What alignment specs would you recommend for my setup? (For auto-xing)

Thanks,
Brian

^^That only gives specs for the AP1 and suggestions for the AP2.

Here's what I'm running that has worked well so far.

-1.5 Front Camber
5.9 Caster
0.0 Toe

-2.0 Rear Camber
+.19 Toe

The car has stellar turn in but peak corner is lacking a little. After our Evo school we noticed extra wear on the outside of the front tires(we used street tires for this). Even with the toe slightly out the car is very stable.

We plan on going to -1.8 camber up front maybe a touch more and -2.2 in the rear. This is on an 06' with stock wheels, 245/275 wide Hoosier A6's, KW coilovers and Gendron front swaybar.

Hope that helps, it's all trial and error.

 

Here are some from my last two seasons. I prefer the '07 settings for my driving style. Good Luck!

Front: Camber: -1.5

 

Set the front bar to the stiffest setting.

Front camber: Max negative (I got -1.6)
Front caster: 6-7 degrees, whatever results from the max camber setting.
Front toe: 1/16" toe out

Rear camber: Slightly more than front (I use -1.8 to -1.9)
Rear toe: zero

That's what worked for me with those tires and the solid Gendron bar set at the stiffest setting.

Who do you have do your alignment? They should be able to match everything up from side to side if they do it right. I stumbled on a guy at a local NTB that is scarily good at it so it can be hit or miss with that.

 

I agree!!! If you're going to pay for something, they should do it exact. The s2k isn't very hard to align. It isn't rocket science.

I gave my mechanic my specs, and this is what he did for me.

 

A tad bit harder than you think to get it down to a tenth. If you are within .2 of your desired settings you will be fine. Most custom alignments shoould be within a tenth from an expirianced tech.

 

Don't confuse being difficult with being lazy. I was in the bay with the tech the entire time he was doing it. Didn't look too hard to me. Caster adjustment is the only thing that takes any amount of time because you have to adjust, then recenter, adjust, recenter, etc....

All eccentric bolts/bushings make it fairly easy and took all of 30~ minutes.
