Default How do I increase negative camber?I

I would like to run these camber settings at the track and was wondering what parts I would have to purchase in order to get the following negative camber settings?

Front: -2 to -3 degrees
Rear: -3 to -4 degrees

Thanks.

I get a maximum of -1.7° in front and -2.4° rear with stock AP1 suspension. Using those camber adjusters, you should be able to achieve your goals.

I too need to add neg. camber. My susp. is currently stock on an AP2. I am chewing up the outer tire edge beyond the wear "triangles" and track the car monthly. but I plan to go with KW v3's. Are the camber adj. devices sold by 949racing still recommended? I am not use to this type as my prev. m3 was done at the shock tower plate.

Thanks!

Yes, they will work great with stock suspension or the KW's. The s2000 does not have a strut front suspension like the M3, so camber plates are not applicable in the s2000. These SPC adjustable ball joints are the equivalent for the s2000.

# NOTE: REAR APPLICATION IS FOR VEHICLES WITH 17" OR LARGER WHEELS ONLY
# Application: 2000+ Honda S2000
just in case you are stock ap1 wheels the spc will only work up front

Just get an adjustable toe-link for the rear (commonly referred to as an "anti bump steer"), that way you can maximize rear camber (using the oem eccentric bolts) while still obtaining the desired amount of toe.

I hate how the front ball joints move the upper a-arm ~ 0.5".

Is there a discernable difference in quality between the J's and SPC? The J's are significantly more pricey. As a caveat, I autocross a lot, so i drive the car very hard, and often. So is the J's worth the extra money considering the way the car is driven?

Also....there's 2 kits, The (S1) - $332. per pair:

And the (L1) - $450 per pair:

The L1 has the addition of roll center adjuster plates.

I'm prepping the car for STR so my questions are:

1- is the L1 STR legal?

and if so:

2- Is the L1 advantageous/neccessary?

3- What does a roll center adjuster plate do?

Right now I can only get about 1.9 degrees of neg. camber and definitely feel I could use more.
