Thanks for the feedback guys. The frame was laser measured and checked out perfect following the repairs from the original hit, by two separate shops. The second shop was the preferred shop for high-end cars (and the recommended body shop of our local forum sponsor). That's not to say that something could have slipped past them, of course. And while I'm aware of the potential for sub-frame slippage, the current S2000-specialist shop (forum sponsor) apparently took that into account.

Bent components were taken off the car and compared to new OEM parts, visually and with measurements. Two were visually bent, and two looked okay visually but the alignment range showed there were still issues so we swapped them too. Just got the car back with two pages of alignment sheets plus max-range notations (after replacing the two visually bent parts and again after replacing the final two parts). The max-min ranges are where they should be across the board now, thankfully. I also got before-after corner balance data.

The downside of getting things fixed is now I won't have an excuse for my lap times.

Hopefully things will be good from here on out if I take it a little easier with the Baja 1000 apexing and slow down for the big bumps on the backroads.
