Default Suspension adjustments

According to the workshop (Honda) they are awaiting in the next few days the new suspension settings that are on the 2002 modle that can be applied to the other S2000's, when mine goes in for its service they say they will make the adjustments.
As far as they are aware it is not a re-call or free up grade, it will be a chargeable service.
Worth having what ever it costs!

Very interesting. Is it all round to you know or just rear adjustment?

Are the settings available anywhere?

My car's in for the chassis setting on Monday, if I can get the settings, then it's the perfect opportunity.

On the international board they say the settings are adjusted at the front and this implies INCREASED oversteer!!!

On the other hand I've seen quite a few posts where cars were far from OEM spec when checked... possible as a result of shipping etc. Can anyone here be sure they're car is handling as Honda intended without having the setup checked?

Thanks, but that wasn't conclusive. I'd need the full camber/toe in settings etc.

I know my car had a full alignment after removing the spacers and before I took delivery. I asked
I'll be insterested to see how far off, if at all, it is before any changes are made.

Cedric all I know is that there are suspension adjustments, back or front or both they did'nt know, no replacement parts though just settings.
The MD is having his car set up asap, so as soon as he has had his done I will ask him for his opinion.
