Even stock, the S2K has some pretty negative camber already. If you are worried, I would get an alignment.

correct, the stock alignment in the rear has about -1.1 degrees. I always recommend about 2 degrees in the rear which is a bit more aggressive than that.

if you do highway driving and no track/autocross/road course events, you can get away with ~-1.1 degrees. however, the handling will not suffer, but will not be as great.

as you know the tires cannot be rotated, so you'll just have to watch wear every so often. but in the end, its a sports car, and meant to be driven like one. =D

there is no camber kit for the S2000.

the fronts are a shock suspension. typically camber kits are for strut-style suspensions.

not sure how low the HKS springs bring the car down, but in cases where it was lowered more than 1.4"s - you won't be able to get anything more positive than say... -2.2 in the rear.
