Default Camber kit for the S2000?

just went o firestone to setup an appointment for wheel alignment, anyhow, as one of the employees there kept telling me that there was a camber kit out for my car. I've never heard of one, so have you guys?

4 wheels alignment from firestone seem pretty good. 69 for all four wheels, and 6 month warranty. That or 100 for 1 year and 175 for lifetime.

They don't know crap about our car and giving you BS. Our car has adjustment for camber, caster and toe both front and rear.

I think he is talking about a camber kit, so he can dial in less camber since lowering the car. I wish someone would make one. The least amount on neg. camber I can get in the rear is 2.4 degrees, and it is a real killer on tires.

The max positive camber you can get on the rear seems to differ from car to car. Whereas some can have the car very low and still get -2.0 in the rear, I could only get max of -3.0 when I set my car too low. I had to raise it up just enough to get good camber.

Ask the guy who makes the camber kit. I looked for a while one day and couldn't find one.

I have not heard of a camber kit for the S2000. The car already has adjustments for camber, caster and toe.

With KG/MM Race springs, I was able to get a minimum of -2.2 rear and about -0.7 front although I had it set at -1.1 front which was what I wanted... It wouldn't adjust any further any more but it doesn't matter.

So, if your car is lowered and you need more range, camber kits, if available, might give it to you.
