Are you guys running camber plates? Or can you adjust camber without having to buy camber plates. My car is stock height even though I'm looking for coil overs.
If you're running camber plates, where is a good place to buy them?

S2000 camber is adjustable out of the box.

No I'm talking about having h&r sport springs and different wheels. I have my car aligned and I'm still wearing the inside more than the rest of my rear wheels.

I had mine (an '00) aligned to the honda UK specs as posted on this board. I think the front camber is -1 and the rear -2.

Handling is improved. Less understeer, more controlled power on oversteer, less bump steer. All in all I'm very pleased. I'm running the stock S02's and stock sway bars.

Whoooaaa... I just got the car aligned to the uk specs with just a tad less -camber front and rear...
I think i'm driving a completely different car.
Anyone in the East Tennessee area I highly reccomend using Bristol's Honda dealership.
They took their time... had some experience with the s2000, let me stand and watch..
They also had ramps for their lift that let my car with kg/mm sport springs drive up without coming close to scraping...

ccarnel and tram57,

Thanks very much for the feedback. I'll be ready for new tires in the spring and I'm leaning very stronly to using UK alignment as well.
