PM hondamanwill

he works as a mechanic at russ darrow honda/nissan/suzuki. he is an S2000 owner and also does auto-x.

i dont think he can do it outside of work, but you can probably go there, and pay for the alignment and request him to do it. he is an awesome guy and extremely knowledgeable.

Hey hondamanwill , I just got new wheels and wondering if you could put the tires on the wheels at the same time. Plus I will be running a more negative camber in the rear cause my wheel are 18x9.5.

If anyone is interested I just found my alignment specs that I had done after I got my car lowered.

FYI it is lowered about 2" now and I still have plenty of "meat" left on my rears with 11k miles encounting.

The car was laser aligned with me sitting in it.

FRONT (L+R)
caster = 6.5*
toe = 0" (total toe = 0")
camber = -1.2*


REAR (L+R)
toe = 0.15" (total toe = 0.30")
camber = -2.2*

It is an agressive setup and outside Honda specs, but it has worked well for me so far. Car corners like it is on rails
