Default Alignment screwed up i think

After my new alignment my car is very twitchy...i guess you could call it. If you barely touch the wheel the car moves overly dramatic i guess. Anyway if i remember correctly there is about -0.5 degrees of camber and the caster was almost maxed and zero toe on the front. I have the same tires as before the alignment on the front. The rear, which i dont think has anything to do with twitchiness, is -2 degrees camber almost max caster and a small amount of toe, cant recall exactly. Does this make any sense, i have checked all tire pressures and everything is 32 psi

post up your specs. there is no rear caster on the s2000. Very few cars even have a rear adjustment. Post up the specs from your print out and we should be able to tell you whats wrong.

My bet is that the caster wasn't maxed out - does the car return to center quickly or not? ie if you let go of the wheel in a turn, does it return quickly or not?

lol

can't help you too much then. By the sounds of it, your caster wasn't maxed out. If it doesn't return to center as quickly as it used to, but initial turn in is quicker, its caster.
