I don't see why you would need a camber kit with a 1 1/2 drop if you are using stock setting's? I could be wrong though

Your not going to need a camber kit

Sounds like he's never done an alignment on a S2000 before or he's over cautious

The S does not need an camber kit unless you are more than +/- 3 degrees. This guy has not done an S2000 before cause if he had then he would know that the alignment is correctable without a camber kit with Tein S-techs.

another vote for a better alignment shop-
cant tell where you are - i suggest that you fix your avatar.
post up in your local forum on this board for suggestions-

had mine done with an aggressive street alignment after my drop and the car had never handled that well before. you are on the right track to have it aligned- but you do want a shop that others have been to.
referral is the best way of finding the shop
