Sorry to say it but your driving a stock S2000.
The only spec's you'll be able to adjust is about .5 - .8 degrees of camber in the front or rear.
Caster and toe is un changeable.
well you can change toe, but your tires will be done in 5k.

Just head to Bert's, and they'll sort it out. They probably won't mind if you sit in the car either. I didn't, but I probably could have the last time I went. They didn't mind me speaking to the tech when he was under the car. I forget his name off hand, but he did my car both times I had it in. White guy, maybe early 40s, glasses. Nice guy. First time he did the alignment, he went and did a quick test drive and remarked that the S2000 was "a lot better than those My-atas."
Also, if you go with the UK alignment specs, note that the toe spec is in degrees, not in mm or fraction of an inch. The alignment machine at Bert's can show the angle in whatever, but you will need to ask them to re-set the machine to show in degrees, because it defaults to either mm or inches. I asked them to do this for me last time out. The difference isn't huge, but you might as well get what you want exactly.

Is this aimed at me? What's with the passive-aggressiveness?
We had a 240sx with no motor come in and tires that pooked out a good inch and he wanted to have it slammed with no camber.... Like what?! are you kidding?
If you want to sit in your car and have them adjust it and then take it for a spin to see if you like it and redo it all again.
Berts is your best bet.
Thats all i'm saying

No not at all it's just when all shops charge 1 hour or 120 bones to do a standard allignment, and we charge 69.95 people like to think that because they are paying so little that they can just get there car fully track prepped.
