Default Tire Setup

What kind of camber are you guys running currently? (esp anyone running factory AP1 wheels)

I am getting an alignment tomorrow and I am undecided on how aggressively to set it up. I like the car to corner well, but I just chewed off the inside edge of my front tires and the outside edge looked practically new. I can't afford to chew through tires any faster than absolutely necessary.

If you have OEM wheels. I would go with OEM specs . Could be in need of a toe adjustment as well. Not sure if the S2000 is like this, but I learned with my 2 previous Acura's that there was no adjustment on the OEM suspension for the camber, only the toe.

all of us ran the factory settings for the S at the track. car is optimized that way. and they can adjust it where you wont wear the outside of the tires out. btw are you still on factory suspension.. and how many miles on it?

I believe on the S you can adjust the camber. I'm not a suspension guy so I won't pertend to be that is just what I've seen reading from other threads. I need to do my homwork on suspension setups.
