Thumbs up kingpin offset ?

does anyone know the kingpin offset of the S2000.

Negativ, Neutral, Positiv I never read anything about it.
Most modern cars have a negativ kingpin offset.

Kingpin? I have the Helm manual in front of me and can't find Kingpin.

What else could it be called? What system is the Kingpin in? Suspension?

I think he means the inclination of the steering knuckle.

The specification is 6 degree's + or - 45'

My fault i've got the translation from a german forum.....

A picture of a Integra Type R Suspension for a better understanding.
The correct expression seems to be scrub radius. Just scroll down a little bit.

Thanks in advance

I can't read German, but I think the article is refurring to how negative camber and weight transfer affect the tire contact patch.
