what number did you get?
you dont need a camber kit since your car already have adjustable camber setting(to a fixed degree)
did the guy installed it cutted the bumpstop? you could be hitting bumps and riding on the bumpstop now

Did you check sway bar end links? Thats seems just like how mine did when the front sway bar end link broke in half. Felt horrible and would float around and the rear of the car always felt like it was going to slide out.

the car feels light and floats all over the place when getting on it.
this car needs Eibach prokit lowering springs and new shocks (Bilsteins?) with much better compression and rebound ramping

TP is good. Yeah its pretty even all the way around. I let my Brother who is a machanic drive it he thinks it is partly the alignment, but also thinks its time for new suspenion and new sway bars. Cuz the the car feels light and floats all over the place when getting on it. So it sounds like even more money I gotta dish out. I'm taking suggestions on what coilover system to go with. Along with what sway bars and other chassis stiffining components to get. I'm all ears lol

You're kidding, right? Your troubleshooting skills are severely lacking.
You got an alignment and it drove like crap while leaving the shop. Hmm . . that didn't bother you? You should have turned around and returned to the shop to deal with the problem immediately. Now you've given them wiggle room.
So your brother diagnosed the need for a replacement suspension and swaybars, huh. Unless he has some experience with aligning an S2000, I wouldn't spend any money on that advice. And someone says new coilovers . . .another says camber plates . . . can I get a BSK and an RCA? Amen brother! I'd love to be your vendor! STOP, timeout. Basics come first. Remember this in order:
Tires - pressure / balancing
Alignment
Suspension / steering hardware
Dude, they screwed up the alignment. Take it back to the alignment shop. Tell them its not right. Ask for the printout. If they don't have it (wink), ask them to put it back on the rack. Compare to factory spec (you can get that in the FAQ here) to see where they went wrong. Tell them to do it to factory specs. And get the printout this time. The printout is your ass covering. You'd rather have that printout than anything, even a receipt, should you two get in a pissing contest. It will be the evidence, the smoking gun. It is the proof of wether or not they actually aligned it to factory spec, within the given tolerances.
Youngun's, sheesh! Good luck.
