So, CG, have you re-done your alignment yet? If so, what's the number and how they ride now?

if your asking me? i have driven in three other s2000's with springs besides mine, one ground control with koni yellow's, car did not out handle mine at all, yes you could make the ride softer because of the adjutabilty but not as good through the turns.... two was eibach, dropped the car something like 2.0 but still did not out handle mine, 3 was h&r and same thing all good springs but did not match kg/mm. like i said these are the dr21 race springs not the super sport, mine are stiffer and lower the car more, they said it drops 1.5 but after 4 months my car has settled at 1.75. amazing handling not t harsh of a ride. no rubbing at all with 18"s on my stocks my rears had tucked a little under the fenders looked hot i was running mad crazy camber......

Yea, I got the alignment done.

Here are the specs.

Front camber- -1.0 deg
Front toe- -.05 deg
Front caster- 6.5 deg (I think... )

Rear camber- -2.0 deg
Rear toe- 0.0 deg

With the drop this is the least amount of rear camber that I could get. I am happy with the handling. I will keep an eye on the tread wear. If it is a bit excessive, I am going to raise the Konis to the top spring perch. I hope this is not an issue since I am running with 0.0 deg toe. From what I hear, the camber alone does not cause excessive tire wear. It is the combination of excessive camber and toe.
