Default UK Specs Alignment for AP2s

MY99 - MY03

After customer complaints of excessive "tracking" (susceptibility(sp) to follow the wear patterns in the road) by UK customers, Honda UK carried out dynamic testing and arrived at an optimum specification to counter this effect of "tracking".

This is not an optimum performance setting, but only an optimum setting for poor UK roads and drivers who let their cars drive them and not point the car where they want to go.

When the S2000 had a facelift in 2004 the suspension pick up points in the chassis were modified to alter this characteristic and no longer required any modification to alter the effects of "tracking".

1999-2003 S2000 set to standard settings for best performance or optimum settings if the car is tracking.
acording to this quote from a post here https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=301506

the SP2s do not benefit form the UK revised alignment due to the revised suspension by honda. is this correct?

anyone running the UK specs on a MY04+ and if so, did you notice nay differneces on handleling and/or tire wear?

thanks
