Post your Alignment
My car was pulling from the factory I brought it to Rick Case Honda and then my steering wheel was crooked. I subsequently got 18's and Eibach springs. Here are my before and afters. I do not think Rick Case really aligned me. Is it possible that the springs threw the alignment this far out?

Thanks for all the tips everybody. It's interesting to see the differences in setups. I'm going to have mine set at the UK performance specs and test it out at Thunderhill late next week. I'm excited to see how much of a difference it is over the stock setup I'm accustomed to.
Just be aware that you don't really know if what you're accustomed to is really the 'stock' setup, unless you've had it checked. Several people have reported pretty out-of-spec values when they have taken their fairly new S2000s in for alignment.
Can someone please help me out with specs for my car?
I have the HKS lowering springs with the stock springs.
I don't do any track driving. What would you reccomend to be the best setup for street?

Well, after 2 years, 30,000 miles, and around 10 track days, I finally had my alignment checked/set. I've resisted doing it until now because my car had a nice steady-state understeer, and it took quite a bit to provoke significant understeer; I didn't want to mess with something that worked. But a recent 'off-track excursion' resulted in my steering wheel being slightly off-center, so I figured it was time to get it looked at.
Here's what they measured:
Front
Camber Left -0.2

Heavier steering wheel feel, just off center, sounds correct since you are now turning both tires in the same absolute direction, as compared to the centerline of the car, as soon as you even breathe on the steering wheel as opposed to the toed-in state where a slight turn might not even get the inside wheel to break the plane (still scrubbing in opposite directions).
