Well keep in mind I have my camber maxed out at -2.8 in the rear. The fronts may go another full trackday, but the rears are not so friendly. I think I will need to check the toe settings as it may change overtime from hitting stupid uneven pavement and filled potholes, etc.

I'm going to try the AD08 next. Definitely pricey and something I don't want to pay for, but I want to try something new for the car.

I mess up my alignment all the time from going off

Are you running a camber joint/kit in the front?

I guess when I said brand new that was a little bit of an exaggeration. They still look really good though.

My alignment is max (but even) camber front and rear, and 0 toe all around. All stock except tires and brake pads.

Are you comparing the CR to the sound deadening in your own car? Because the CR does not have any sound insulation differences than a normal S2000, unless you consider the hardtop an insulator of course.
Actually, the CR exhaust is significantly louder than the base S2000. Don't have DB measurements, but by design, it is both louder and has a deeper tone.

Ahh...I'm running J's Camber Joint S1 in the front. I want to square up the camber settings to -2.8 all around. I am currently running +1/8" total toe in the rear. I may bring it closer to 3/32" toe in for the next time.

Actually there are two sounds unique to the CR - one is the creaking hardtop which I can't stand and the other is the hollow sound from the exhaust (perhaps louder) but I'm used to a more deeper tone. Neither of which I like so I'm glad I don't have those issues.

oh yeah here's a picture of my car in it's current state




A lot of you have asked about my tails and how I was able to get them smoked....check out my A, B, C, D taillight thread in the gallery section. It's definitely unique and gives my s2000 a sinister look with the matching smoked front amber, sidemarkers and matching smoked rear amber pieces.

Are you saying that you have slight toe out in the rear now? What makes you want to go to toe in?

With my alignment settings I find that the car is very stable and exhibits understeer to neutral handling. The car has been data logged pulling 1.25G in left hand turns and 1.1G in right hand turns with the dunlops (I think this means I need to slim my fat ass down some). It's also apparently getting really great tire wear too.

My car is set up to have an oversteer bias...

However, understeering caused this...

Holy crap! I've gotta believe that car was going off regardless of setup

+X = toe-in
-X = toe-out

I've always had a toe in. 3/32" is less than 1/8". I've heard rumors Charles Ng runs 0 toe on his stock AP2 and runs ridiculously fast times...I'll have to test it out..maybe I'll run +1/16"?
