Tire pressure if a bit too high Chad, lower it down to 32-34.

I tried 34 all around but felt that the higher pressures were more responsive... We'll see again at the next track day

Done for autocross on V710s:

AP2; with Gendron medium front bar, set at medium stiff; revalved Konis set full stiff in front, 3/4 stiff in rear; otherwise stock

Camber: -1.75 front; -2.50 rear
Caster: Max and even out
Toe: zero front and rear

I like this setup very much.

Picked up an '02 a few weeks ago (completely stock). Been doing trackdays for years in other cars but the S2k is a street car for now:
F:
camber: -1.2deg
caster: 5.6deg, 5.8deg
toe: 0

R:
camber: -1.5deg
toe: 1/8" in

My wife will drive it occasionally so I want to leave a little bit of understeer. I guessed on the relative camber settings. They might change to same F/R.

For reference/relevance purposes...

Here was my 2008 auto-x alignment settings on an '08 CR (recommended for auto-x and smaller/lower speed track). Keep in mind I prefer the S2000 with a mild oversteer. With these settings, I was able to be competitive and the Peru Solo2 Tour and Solo2 Nationals. With a better driver, these settings could accomplish much more on an auto-x level.

-Camber: -2 front -2.5 rear

-Toe: 1/16th toe-out front 1/16th toe-in rear

-Caster: Maxed

This was matched with the following suspension mods...

-Koni auto-x valved Koni Yellows (full stiff front, 50% rear)

-Gendron 1.375" FSB (set 3/6)

-Hoosier A6s 275/40/17 front & rear


For higher speed courses is would recommend going with a staggered tire setup (225/255+) and/or adjust the settings to induce more understeer.

Just got mine done.
This is for autocross and street use using Bridgestone Potenza RE01Rs.

* Front toe - 0" toe out
* Front (neg) camber - -1.4 degrees
* Caster -- 5.5 degrees

* Rear toe (total) - .26" toe in
* Rear (neg) camber - -2.25 degrees

I tried to have the tech max the caster to over 6 degrees but he said the right front
could only max out at 5.5 where the left front can take a lot more caster. I'm wondering
if I have a slightly bent right front control arm.

can you guys give me some input on my alignment...I'm aiming toward occassion mountain runs/track days but don't want my tires to wear out so fast.

Here is my alignment:


Front:
Initial Setting: Final Settings:

Caster (L/R): 6.3/6.4 -------- 6.1/5.9
Camber (L/R) -0.4/-0.6 -------- -0.9/-1.0
Toe (L/R) -0.20/-.05 -------- 0.10/0.10

Rear:
Initial Setting: Final Settings:

Camber (L/R) -1.6/-2.1 -------- -1.7/-1.9
Toe (L/R) 0.25/0.25 -------- 0.30/0.25


Should I go with 0 toe in front? well let me know what you think of the alignment. Thanks.

Oh yeah, I have a 2006 AP2 with 225/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rear. Tires are RE01. It is lowered on swift springs.
