I just installed PF01's and Star Specs over a Bilstein PSS suspension - see the last page in the following post.

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/933...s/page__st__25

I am trying to decide which alignment specs to use. The car isn't driven much - 9,000 miles and it's a MY00. I just use it on the weekends for spirited drives, etc. I may take it to an SCCA event in the future, but that's about it. I've read about the UK specs, but worry it's too "twitchy/nervous" for me.

I want the car to feel stable, track straight and be fun to drive. Tire wear is somewhat of a concern, but having only 9k on the original tires from 2000 means I won't likely replace the Star Specs for quite a while.

What do you suggest, specifically? I have a dealer local in my area that I can take specs to and they will "work it out" for me.

Thanks!

~1 - 1.5deg front camber
zerp front toe

~2 - 2.5deg rear camber
0.2 - 0.3 deg total rear toe

 

oh yeah and max front caster if u can. Somewhere around 6.5 was what I was able to coerce out of her

 

Sounds good. And make sure the caster is the same on both wheels. An tech I went to wanted to give unequal caster on each front wheel to compensate for crowns in the road so the car would still track straight. Did not sound like a good idea to me considering that no all roads have the same amount of crown, or the same amount across all lanes, or any crown at all!

 

Thanks for the help, everyone!

 

I didnt want to start new thread. i know zero when it comes to alignment. what do you think of this:

 

Looks good...

 

do u like that negative camber in the back? how low r u?

 

Basically factory spec...looks fine but I'd want some more camber all around I bet it drives a lot better with all the toe specs corrected You make a lot of left hand turns at speed?

 

I am at stock height, and cant comment on alignment since i dont track or like i said know anything about this stuff.

yes, i suppose i do take a lot of left hand turns at high speeds

I just wish the shop got the balancing right, I am pretty sure I get vibrations past 75mph, and unfortunately shop doesn't have road force. i would hate to pay another 60-80 bucks for another balancing job.....mounting, balancing, and alignment were part of wheel + tire package for additional $50 bucks.
