they dont know what they're talking about. The S2000 is adjustable for toe, camber and caster. Most other hondas are adjustable only for toe.

Iduno about the pepboys by you, but I wouldn't go to the one by us if they paid ME to work on my car. If you go, I'd definately get a before and after print out of your alignment. Dont leave without one. Tell them you want one before they start.

When you say Toe: Factory, what is that spec?

I need some kind of specs to make it so that the camber is high enough that my wheels don't rub.

factory front toe is around 0 deg. IIRC.

If you're just trying to make shit not rub....just keep adding camber till it doesn't rub. Cut out your bumper in the wheel wells, crush your fender lips, relocate the bumper tab, etc.

For those of you running 2deg or more neg front camber, how? I can't seem to get more than my 1.7degrees.

0 rear toe? You sure? Also, the rear does not have a caster measurement.....
well I just had them set the camber and toe to specified settings.. I really just needed to max out the camber and i told them to set the rest to OEM.

Maybe that's why you can't get more than 1.7 deg neg. camber.
if you cant get the amount of front camber you desire then you have to back out the caster. If you add caster then it will limit your camber adjustment. If you add camber it will limit your caster adjustment. Caster and camber work hand in hand, if you adjust one then the other will adjust also. Camber effects caster more than caster effects camber. I prefer to run a higher caster and less camber because it allows deeper braking and adds negative camber when I turn the wheel (good turn-in)

front:
caster +6.7
camber -1.0
toe 0

rear:
camber -2.2
toe 0
