Possibly should have elaborated a little. Basically a 4-wheel alignment, to adjust camber,caster,toe etc.
You should definitely do that.

Just wondering if it is worthwhile after installing coilovers or should i just stick with OEM settings?
What do you want from it? If you wanted OEM, you probably shouldn't have fitted coilovers. It's certainly worthwhile, makes a huge difference, but a more aggressive setup probably means more tyre wear and more unpleasant tramlining.
Ok, your point is noted next time be more specific with question.

thanks

Revolution staff have a lot of tyre pressure on them, if they can't align your car in the slot allocated they will just leave it.

You lot are f@#king pedants, you have a broad idea of what he means, ie should I have less 'lowest common denominator' settings on my car

Yes is probably the answer.

Not being an expert I guess take it to an expert and tell him what you want. Stuff like high speed stability (this was an issue with mine last time I did it), steering feel, less snap oversteer etc etc

Dont worry too much about tyre wear.

Aslong as they dont go mad with the rear toe then you can get good tyre wear. I run -1.3 camber at the front and about -2 at the the rear. I have total toe in of 0.15 on the rear and the car is stable and isnt eating the tyres.

Upon recommendation from several other members (see this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/865498-geo-settings/ and https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/872...st-road-setup/) I would probably go for something like this:

Front camber 1[sup]0[/sup]
Front Toe 0[sup]0[/sup]
Caster 6[sup]0[/sup]
Rear camber 1.5[sup]0[/sup]
Rear toe 0.5[sup]0[/sup]

However I am open to suggestions

They look ok - As recommended, take these settings and tell revolution what you are looking for and they will work it out from there.
