I just put a set of Buddy Club Racing Spec Coilovers on my S2000 and looking for some guidance on what my ALIGNMENT SPECS should be. I am also running 18" Volk LE37T's (Front 225/40, Rear 245/35 Toyo Proxes T1-S).
John, doesn't matter too much what you are running in shocks or wheels IMO, but I think a good setup would be one of those already suggested. What I typically recommend:
front camber -1.25 to -1.5 in the front
front caster +6 or as close to as possible
front toe - zero/0
rear camber -2.0 (or, because your car will probably be lower than a stock S, you should try to get as positive to that as possible)
rear toe 1/8" to 1/4" toe IN
Hope this helps.
btw, with new springs, let them settle for at least a week before getting them aligned.
Simply put, if camber is the x axis, and toe is the y axis, then we can say caster is the z axis. For example, a motorcycle's front wheel has lots of positive caster.
This makes nosense to me.
In this case couldn't you rotate the caster 180 degrees and still have nothing changed. It's a wheel, the Z axis would be rotating the wheel like it does when being rolled.
