Default Rear Alignment Issues

I recently had my S2K lowered with HKS Springs and a new set of 5Zigen Imperio S-08 18" Rims put on the car. Everything came back in to alignment except for the passenger side rear. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Please; all feed back would be appreciated.

did you align your car after ~2 weeks of having the springs on the car? and if so... what are the specs?

I got the car aligned about 3 the days after I had it lowerd. I was told that the springs would not settle any lower than they already were. The springs droped the car 29mm in the rear and 27mm in the front. I don't have any specs from the aligment but I was there when the did it and every thing was in green exept for the right rear. I guess there is not much adjusment on the right rear passenger side. At least that's what they said at the shop. The camber is what is off on the right rear, I should have been more clear, sorry. It's about 2-3 degrees off. The camber adjusments are different on the right of the car than the left.

Huh?!? No actually, they are the same on both sides of the car. Did the "shop" tell you they're different?

After careful examination they never adjusted the right rear camber. So I will be there tomorrow to have it fixed. Thanks alot j2k. I REALLY appreciate it. They had told me they can't adjust the right rear any more but I think they can.

I know with some lowering springs it will drop the rear to the point where the rear camber can't be set lower than say... -2.8 degress of camber (two locals). so... they probably can't adjust it far enough inwards. but when you get the chance, post the alignment specs that you have already. thanks.

I understand what your saying but if that was the case then; the rear left shouldn't be able to be put back to spec. It's just the rear right.
