^That's not true at all!
The stock UK alignment has -2 in the rear and -1 in the front and feels much better in the handling department.

Unless you are driving a stock S2000 or competing in SCCA A Stock, you should never be running more camber in the rear than in the front on an S2000.
You DO know that suspension design is ALL theory, right?

What the hell are you talking about?
It is STOCK suspension. NOT a STOCK car and regardless that is a ridiculous statement that more -camber in the rear than front is never good haha.

Yeah, What are we talking about? The above tire and wheel specs are going to rub. And -3 camber is more than most people run.
I can tuck my 255 on a +55 rear wheel stock fender. If my combo was 2 milimeters wider it would rub.
Look at my dirty car and wheel. I swear I was about to wash it, look at the hose. :
I can't imagine how a 245 on a +35 would fit without rubbing.

He doesn't rub maybe because his sidewall height is smaller and you just need a good roll and rear tab cut in order to run 17x9+35 in the rear. I only had -2.5 degrees of camber when I had my set with 245/40/17. I could have gone 255/40/17 with ease and my car is fairly low, less than a finger gap all around with no rubbing. I had 17x8 +35 in the front but I don't see how the +28 won't fit with a roll since I had a lot of room left.

Here are sum pictures of the setup dropped on eibach springs, no rubbage at all yet but it is dropped like nothing... so i'll have to wait til coilovers to see how much i need to pull fenders out and stuff. im plannin to run negative -2 in the back and relocate bumper tab also.
right now its running 215 40 sumitomos in the front and 245 35 hankooks in the back.
how fast do you guys eat your tires running -2 camber or more in the rear? what about running -1 in the front? this is my daily but i flip my tires no more than every 5000 miles.

As long as your toe is in check, you won't notice any uneven wear at that alignment setting. You should get 245/40's in the rear and 215/45 for the front to keep the factory speedo correct.
