Hi guys,

My S2000 came with Koni Yellow shocks and Esepilr Springs, and I finally decided to align my wheels (since waiting to buy some AP2 rims fell through). I brought my car into a local mechanic's shop for an alignment and they said I needed a camber kit for them to align my wheels. I was under the impression camber kits were only needed for slammed set ups, which i do not have (the top of my tire sits flush with my fender arch). Camber kits also seem to be super expensive $500 each?! And I'd need 4 of em! Is there a cheap set, or do I even need a Camber Kit? I was thinking about calling a specialized tire shop (Big O, Firestone, Les Schwab etc) in the morning, to get their input.

Here is a list of the specs they gave to me:

Front Left:
-1.0 Camber
5.5 Caster
-0.38 Toe
10.6 SAI
9.7 Included Angle

Front Right:
-1.1 Camber
6.9 Caster
-0.48 Toe
9.6 SAI
8.5 Included Angle

Front:
.01 Cross Camber
-1.4 Cross Caster
1.1 Cross SAI
-0.86 Total Toe

Rear Left:
-2.9 Camber
0.50 Toe

Rear Right:
-2.9 Camber
0.65 Toe

Rear:
0.0 Cross Camber
1.15 Total Toe
-0.08 Thrust Angle


Thanks for your help!

 

The car has adjustable camber, caster, and toe from the factory.

They can get it close without a camber kit. Fix the toe. Cot dang that toe is off.

 

In the rear tell them they have to turn the adjusters in opposite directions to set toe properly also the fact they failed to set front toe doesn't inspire much confidence as its just shortening or lengthening 1 tie rod.

 

Did they try to align it at all? As the previous posters have said the toe is way off. The rear is difficult for alignment newbs because you have to adjust both arms at the same time to dial in toe AND camber so its a dance, you cant just do one and expect it to be fine.

You should be able to get reasonable alignment without any additional camber parts.
