If you're not happy with it maybe get the Geo set by somebody like Centre Gravity (Birmingham). It's not cheap by all means but its the best money I've ever spent on the S. I was never happy with mine when my local garage did it even though they set it back to the so called factory settings.

LOL! As you can see I wrote that in the early hours of the morning.. another case of skim reading but still my point is valid d:

Was asking about the Hunter system as they have the correct predefined settings for the S2000 but I've found that some other alignment systems didn't..!


Also I was asking what they have set as anyone can say they've set the factory settings when they've just gone by what the computer says - which may not be right.. so its important to actually know the measurements or see the alignment sheet

You could be spot on though with the theory that the car is actually driving as it should !

We setup one of the civic cup cars at the weekend at silverstone, in practice he spun it 3 times and said the car felt like it wanted to come 'around' him at every corner.

.05mm toe in at the rear, half a degree more camber at the rear and corner weighting - he went out in his first race ever in the car and set the fastest lap

to the OP, as everyone has said, getting proper geo done, on any car but especially the s2k is a must and probably one of the best 'mods' you can do.

Castor is 6 degrees plus or minus 45 minutes, adjust to taste.

I had mine done originally at STS tyres and it was so bad I had to get a refund they said at the time that it was the most advanced 4 wheel alighnment machine in the country but it didnt adjust my camber whoops eventualy took it to DSA who did a great job.

Take it to someone who knows what they are doing and asks you questions about how you want it to drive
As you found it's false economy taking it to your average place with the settings off a database

Unless you know what you are doing, you need to go to someone who does.

However, if someone wants to tell me what size tyres, what type of tyre, what suspension setup they are using and what they want the car to do, I can offer pointers on where to start

I like my car to be flighty/pointy. If it squirms under braking, I have confidence the car will turn in. This is very particular to my driving style though. With 225/245 17inch road tyres and 10kg/10kg suspension, here is what I had in Degrees.minutes. Track settings (on road tyres) in brackets, add more camber for semi slicks:

Front

Camber -1.40 (2.3)
Castor 6.50 (5.3 - 6.0)
Toe 0.0 (0.1 - 0.2 total)

Rear

Camber -2.10 (2.3)
Toe +0.26 (0.13 per wheel) which is the lowest I could go (impossible to have toe out)

That sounds about right to me! I like throttle-adjustability.

Its so easy for any geometry place to adjust the geometry incorrectly and put you in the next available hedge , get it checked it mate asap
