that dual set up can be frustrating to set up if you unfamiliar with the set up and are trying to adjust it on the car when they are already so far offset from each other. you may find it easier to just take them off the car. set the ride height with the lowest (single) perch. then adjust the preload on the spring. both settings should be relatively equal to each other.

as for the camber angle that wont really fix your ride height differences. make sure you have the height where you want it before you get it aligned. if its not, and you adjust it after the alignment, you are just going to throw off the alignment. another option is to take it to a shop, get it corner balanced and aligned, someone with experience there can set it up properly for you.

I'm sure that the S2000 settings are different than those for a Miata, so do not simply duplicate what I posted. Having one spring rattling around loose is definitely incorrect.
