Default Alignment Settings

Need to get "Neutral" camber alignment settings for my 03.

Tires are wearing too fast!

Thanks

Welcome to the club

Maybe reduce your camber settings front and rear a little bit?

I think the correct camber settings for you also depend on your driving habits. If you drive more aggressively, you may want a bit more camber. If you do more highway driving, you may want less.

Toe can be blamed for most of the rear tire wear, very aggressive on the S2000.
If you autocross or track your car and are a reasonably good driver less rear toe will make your tires wear less and your car more tail happy.
(Very scary at the limit for the tipical driver)
All this can vary depending on what tires, sway bar, springs you have.
I keep it within the Honda recomended range of toe but on the lower side.

I had my car aligned to Honda specs, and I have had no problems. No uneven tire wear, no premature wear, no handling problems. I am very satisfied and highly recommend using Honda specs as long as a reputable shop with a good alignment machine does the job.

I had mine done at Acura, as they have the best machine in north central Florida, and the mechanic spent time making sure it was perfectly aligned.

The Euro alignment specs are twitchy on the highway, and make sure where ever you get the alignment, you sit in the car while they do it. You'll be blown away how much your car changes geometry when you sit in it.
