i know nothing about specs. all i know is that the last person that alighned it screwed everything up... and i am clueless... i daily drive my car... what good settings am i off better with, without camber wear??? can it still be alighn close to the stock settings?...my tires are wearing unevenly towards the inside, especially the back... i don't remember what it was set to the last time...i want the tires to last long...any advice would be great... help a brother out..thax

 

Kind of depends on whats contingent on your driving habits. If you *think* for some reason the last owner screwed something up just search for the stock settings.

A lot of folks go with the UK settings. Which I am personally running and love. It does however give you a bit more camber but the payoff in ride and aggressive driving is noticeable.

UK alignment spec is in the bottom. A lot of s2k people running this spec. I'm also lowered with Swift sports springs and first thing I did is a UK spec alignment. Consider UK as stock specs, nothing to worry about.

 

How much are you lowered and how long after you installed the teins did you get the car aligned?

 

i just got the car alighned... the technician said everything looks good... i told him that i wanted the uk specs but he said he don't understand why when its gonna wear out my tires even more... i can see the the rear camber is cambering inside. my front tires are okay but the rear passenger tire looks like slicks while the driver rear seems to wear pretty fair... if the specs shows that the alighnment is correct why does it look like the same... i'll try this out one more time and if it still eating up the rear tires i'm taking it to some shop that has experience with s2ks... i don't autocross, race, nothing just daily drive the car. car is alighn to factory specs right now...

 

hmm weird about the wear. your eye isnt a very good indicator of what the actual measurements are. keep an eye on your tires...possible you just had a bad alignment before?

Im lowered in the same spring and the honda was able to get in back to oem. do you have a print out? id like to compare...

pre alignment, my front tires were cupping on the inside, however the rears were wearing nicely by the look of it.

how is your steering feel? after my alignment I was complaining of not so great tracking at highway speed and what felt like increased steering effort at speed...however lowering psi to 32 made it a little better. care to comment? cheers

 

well i did get it alighn some sort of way... the tech said the person that last did it, did a pretty good job... i saw the specs and compare it to factory and were almost the same... he just adjust a little of toe here and there and he said the rears are set at -1 chamber which is pretty darn good because i wanted less camber wear... everything seems to make sense to me... he didn't charge me at all... the car seems to corner better maybe because of the whole new set of tires which were dunlop z1stars... i'll just drive it like this for awhile and keep an eye on the rear tires...if it wears uneven again i'll take it 2nrwerks or someone else to take a look at it....

 

my steering feels a lot tighter

 

You can always post up in the Tampa s2ki forum for a shop recommendation for alignments. There are plenty of guys there who autox and do track days, so they can help you find an alignment guy that will set the car up for your needs.

 

I run a realllly aggressive autox setup, just torched my rear tires with too much highway. needed an excuse to upgrade to the advan ad08s

maxed neg in front, -.5 higher in back, does that
