Ok I know this topic has been beat to death, but I'm just trying to get some up-to-date and application specific info.
First the current specs: My ride height is as follows from the inside of the fender to the middle of the wheel in inches
Right Rear: 12.15
Left Rear: 12.2

Right Front: 13.45
Left Front: 13.4

Of course I was the bonehead broke college kid who skipped out on getting it re-aligned right away. I checked my rear camber using just a regular bubble leveler today and by my expert(sarcasm) approximation we are looking at around -5 degrees or more out back. I found an SPC camber kit VERY cheap so I went ahead and got it just for ease of use. It should come in today so I will probably install it and then play with settings until I get something reasonable. I'm not crazy about getting it dialed all the way in just yet as my region SCCA is done for the year, but I do want to get this corrected and will probably dial it in and test rigorously over Christmas break when I have time. BUT, I really want to get my toe aligned while I have time off for thanksgiving.

For now my questions are: Do I need any special tools to get my toe measurements? Does anyone else has the SPC kit and what do you recommend? and I plan on going even if not just a hair of toe in up front and then somewhere around .15 toe in out back.

This is my first time fooling with all of this stuff, so please be nice. With that said, any advice is welcome I can use all the help I can get.

Thanks

 

How much did that camber kit cost?

 

I think I actually just decided to cancel the order. I don't think I will need it with the specs I am shooting for. I'm just going to let the local shop dial me in to what I want.

 

Yeah ... I was going to say that the cost of the camber kit would be close to the cost of a real alignment....

S2000 has a very good range of adjustment.

 

I always thought the string method was interesting. If you have alot of time, money to buy the tools, and the need to make constant adjustments to your suspension for whatever reason then take a look here. You can get check toe pretty easily this way too. I'm not sure how accurate it is though.

 

I do string alignments at home. It can be very accurate if you take your time and spend some attention to it. The link above mentions finding the centerline and then says it is unnecessary to find it on most cars. You NEED to find the centerline on the s2000, at least with the stock wheels and center caps. If you don't, the strings will not be parallel and the toe measurements will be way off.

 

And finding the center line just depends on your wheel set up right? So if you have 17x8/17x9 wheels with the same offsets then just move the string one inch close to the center cap in the rear?

 

I would still find it and measure the difference. Once you know the difference in widths you can write it down and use it forever. Everybody's car is a little bit different. There a lot of parts between the center cap on one side of the car the cap on the other, all these parts have tolerances and they can add up.
