Does the stock S2000 lean forward a bit?

I have been playing with the coilover settings again and I'm going to get my car aligned.

Does the stock S2000 lean forward a bit?

What I mean is that is the front sideskirt behind the front wheel a little lower than the rear sideskirt infront of the rear tire?

Thanks,

The term you're looking for is rake. The S2000 does have it, it doesn't sit level.

On a sidenote, don't you find it a pain in the ass to have to realign your car everytime you mess with suspension settings? Just wondering. I don't see the benefit in an everyday application.

Ldogdotcom,

"rake" eh? Thanks...I learn something every day from this board!

Well, I try to have the car aligned every 8-10 K miles anyhow. I had the car aligned @ 5K miles when I got the coil overs, 15K and now it's time for the 25 K. I make height adjustments sometimes...but I make the big adjustments just before the alignment dates.

I'm recieving my Nippon exhaust tomorrow! I have a friend who aligns my car either for $40, or doesn't charge me at all. After he aligns the car tomorrow, I'm going to instal the Nippon exhaust while it is on the lift. I'll take some pics!

Lean forward? No, it looks perfectly level to me.
