Default Camber?

Hey guys, i just installed springs on my S. It lowered 1.5" in front, 1.4" in rear. I got the front taken care of, but the rear has like -2.5 camber. All the hondas ive owned, i was able to adjust, but the S i cant. What solution can i use for this? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Should be easily adjustable with the stock camber adjuster, but -2.5 sounds good.

run away from who ever told you that you can't adjust the camber in the rear of the S and never go back.

Hmm, really? Its my friend Jake who did this for me, and he builds and races porches in the supercups. He knows his shit. Maybe he just didnt look into it far enough. Do you guys have any pictures of what need to be adjusted? Also, yea -2.5 is good, but how fast will it eat up my tires? Thanks for all your help guys!!

Maybe about Porsches, definitely not about S2000s.

A service manual will describe in detail how to adjust the alignment.

I think you mean didn't look hey if its free then its all good.

But I wouldn't pay someone for an alignment that stated we didn't have adjustable rear camber. I know he didn't look as its really clear to see that we have 2 lobes in the rear for adjustment.


I'm pretty sure 911's have adjustable rear camber too. I'll find out

If you have the front at -1, try the rear at -2.

I run my street-driven S2000 at -0.7 deg. front and -1.2 deg. rear. That seems tobe a good compromise setting. When I was running even more camber for track use (-1.2 front and -2.2 rear) I had pretty good tire wear. What eats tires, particularly the fronts, is too much toe-in.
