205 tires? How stretched are they?

To add to B-serious' post, lol this isn't a civic or some cheap McPherson strut suspension. No camber kits are needed.

I hope English is not your primary language.

I appreciated all the opinions. Yes, that goes for you too, B-serious. I'll post the result once is completed. And no! English is not my primary language. I am what you called Chink-in-the-armor.

So you are a weakness in a suit of armor?

But seriously 205/40/18 is WAY to narrow of a tire for the S2000 especially on a 9 inch wide wheel. And no you do not need a camber kit. Don't put those wheels and tires on your car.

You never said what your target camber numbers where. Based on that, it'll depend if you need more adjustment or not.

Given you wheel & tire selection, you may want more based on the look you're after.

Manga_Spawn: I had 17x9 with 205/40 before and I can't complain. But, at that time I had coilovers with adjustable ball joints.

--The sarcasm was for the professor who made fun of my grammar--


99sh: I am going for flush look; avoiding camber wear and vibration on tires. The springs are supposed to drop 1.5in front and rear.

stretching tires at all let alone what you are going for simply isn't safe, but I cant say I didn't warn you. I hope for the best
