I was going to have it aligned a few days after install to let it settle, but had not thought about corner weight set up, dont know of anyone local to me that has the equipment.

Not too far in the grand scheme of things, especially considering it's Ohlin's you're getting set up!! Chris (owner) is a perfectionist though (and knows the S2000 well), don't expect a £60 Kwik Fit job.

Been to him late last year, for the alignment it will be circa £300, no idea how much it will be for corner balance, but probably a few hundred on top! Not sure i can stomach another £500 in labor for a set up, plus i got my service and mot and valve clearance at end of this month which is another £330

When you're buying suspension like Ohlins, you should get them set up properly.

TGM in Fleet is another option, but a bit of a hike for you!

Ohlins have arrived and have got them out the box, but im confused, i presume the springs at the front and rear are both different? but i cant work out which is the rear springs and which is the front ones, two different codes on each set of springs, one ending 244, and one ending 254, which is which? their is no mention of it in the install manual so could it be that its the same springs on both front and rear?

Edit, never mind if you look very very close to the picture in the manual of the spring you can just about make out the code :<
