Hello My S2k Fellows! Alignment questions!
hey sup guys? so as you all may know i'm still a big noob to the s2000. but anyways i got some alignment done to my car not too long ago (about 1month) and i got the rear setting at -2.5 camber and the front -2.0 camber.
so today i slammed the car even more, its pretty low now
my lip fell off today coming down a curb... but i was letting my friend drive it around while i followed him in my other car and i noticed the rear wheels, one of them you can tell is camber in and the other wheel is pretty darn straight up.
i mean the car doesn't rub anymore from behind i got alignment but the car looks kinda goofy right now with the wheels one slanted at a angle and not the other. so i was just wondering if thats an s2000 thing? or did freaking firestone just did a bad alignment job on my car?
i got the lifetime alignment thing for the car so i can always bring it back.

Sounds like a bad alignment.. I've had problems with Firestone as well. Mine sit almost perfectly even to where i can't tell an angle difference.
I'd consider if it even worth taking it back if it doesn't rub or ask why they didn't make it even. (they may have a reason??)

I have the firestone lifetime alignment and the guy hits my specs, as gets as close to them as possible every single time. The firestone lifetime alignment is the best deal in the business.

This is pretty much a bullshit statement.

whatever works for you
I find it funny that the two guys on the this forum who likely get the most alignments every year (Benson and myself) both use the firestone lifetime alignment and have no issues or complaints. If you don't have the sense to inspect their work and make sure that the specs are correct before you leave the shop, that's your problem.
