A lot would depend on what you are looking for. If you need more clearance I would say run the most negative camber while staying in stock range. The negative camber would also improve performance as well.

I suggest you experiment and find whats best for your city's daily driving conditions and such.

The factory spec:
Front -0deg 30" (thats one and a half degrees)
Rear -1deg 30"

I use -0 45 in the front and -1 45 in the rear, I've found 1/2 or 1.5/2.5 to be excessive for my daily driving

good luck

You can go pretty far with camber without excessive wear on the inside. I'm at 2.3* rear, 1.5* front (max adjustment both ends) and my tires are wearing pretty evenly (~5000 miles on Hankook RS2's).

For years I've run 2.3* front/1.8* rear on my 240Z and got remarkably even wear on the street.

Toe eats tires more than camber does. Keep it set near the middle of the adjustment range and you should be fine.

Yes, camber is adjustable on the S2000 with no aftermarket equipment.
