yes. it's not meant for crazy adjustments, but it can do adjusted very easily. Just a turn.

No, not in the sense of "camber kits" for cars with strut-type suspension. The S2000 has upper and lower A-arms on both the front and rear suspension. There are excentric bolts at the lower A-arm mounting points that allow adjustment for camber and caster. A "camber kit" is typically an adjustment plate located at the top of the strut tower. Since this mounting point is usually not adjustable, adding the kit allows more flexibility in allignment setting.

Unless you have the means to measure your alignment settings it is not wise to simply start messing around with the adjustment bolts. There are two adjustment bolts per side and both must be adjusted in synchrony to achieve the caster and camber settings that you want. Since you have an extreme 2" drop on the car, it may not be possible to achieve factory settings. If I were you, I'd have your qualified alignment technician minimize camber to get as close to 1 degree front and 1.5 degrees rear, run a very small amount of toe (1/8") front and rear, and maximize caster up front.
