You need more front camber as well.

But what you could be feeling is hitting the bumpstops by being too low.

I've found it is easy to get out of the sweet spot of the suspension by lowering too much.

The alignment you got is totally unacceptable. Take it back to the shop and have them align it exactly to spec with you sitting in the car (or with dummy weights in the driver's seat). Someone really rushed you out the door on this one!


Seriously, you left with such garbage numbers? Make the shop match the specs side to side, even if it takes two hours.

Also, why do the "Before" alignment readings from my current alignment sheet differ from my actual readings from my last alignment? It's only been a month. Does the s2000 alignment change that fast due to road conditions?
Yes, one trip around the block and the alignment will change.

Damn, I expect alignment numbers to be match exactly to a tenth. If I say I want -1.0 camber, I better get -1.0 on both sides...not -1.1 or -0.9...but -1.0. If it's -1.02 then that's fine. Just take it to a new alignment shop. Your current one is garbage.
