btw...i think i saw it mentioned somewhere about camber eating tires...you are W R O N G!!! camber does VERY little to eat tires...what eats tires is IMPROPER TOE ANGLE!!! you can run 0 deg of camber and still have your tires wear like crazy if your toe is off...camber angle will wear tires normally and safely...you are creating a parallel contact patch with camber...with toe you create an opposing contact patch
Exhibit A:
But yeah, like you said, a reasonable amount of negative camber isn't going to kill your tires. Toe is almost always the culprit.
Also, whp = wheel horsepower. The S2K makes about 240 HP at the crank, or about 200 whp (due to drivetrain loss). 250 whp NA is very unlikely without serious mods.

There's a lot of posts talking about "as long as you're happy with it" or "I did it for my own preference" etc. That's fine, but it's still rice. You think the people with altezza's and neons and autozone bodykits aren't happy with their cars or didn't put together their cars for their own preference?
There's a lot of definitions of rice. Some define it as mods that are tacky - making it a matter of opinion. And imo, hellaflush is rice (tacky).
Another definition is modifications that are non-functional and just for show/looks. Considering hellaflush on an S2000 almost always makes it slower, by this other definition (not opinion), it's still rice (if you subscribe to that definition).

Exhibit A:
The PERFECT daily driver! 1 racing seat, wheels that stick out 4" past the body and zero ground clearance. This is the epitome of comfort and practicality.
I would love to see some pics of the owners of these cars...

I just don't understand why you want to do this to the S. It just looks so bad, and reminds me of all the wanna be low riders around. I seriously can't wait for this look to die like the altezzas.

Guess this is one of those that if someone has to explain it to you....you just don't get it.
I don't get it.
I cringe when I see this done to S2000's. I'm not going to knock anyone for doing it, but I sure wouldn't.
