OEM Alignment settings
Not all garages can do the alignment - due to the height of the car.
If you have the car aligned, check the printout for the results. Also be aware that it's normal for the alignment to drift a little so it's worth having it checked every so often.
MY99 - MY03
After customer complaints of excessive "tracking" (susceptibility(sp) to follow the wear patterns in the road) by UK customers, Honda UK carried out dynamic testing and arrived at an optimum specification to counter this effect of "tracking".
This is not an optimum performance setting, but only an optimum setting for poor UK roads and drivers who let their cars drive them and not point the car where they want to go.
When the S2000 had a facelift in 2004 the suspension pick up points in the chassis were modified to alter this characteristic and no longer required any modification to alter the effects of "tracking".
1999-2003 S2000 set to standard settings for best performance or optimum settings if the car is tracking.
MY04 - MY05
2004 onwards S2000 set to standard, settings below

Modified Cars
If the springs or shock absorbers are modified or car lowered factory settings do not apply as the angle from suspension pickup to wheel centre will alter and no amount of adjustment can return the original fine balance achieved by the factory.
Please Note: It is not unknown for the adjustment bolts to corrode which means new suspension arms. Please check the Common Problems post
Please take good care of your S2000, keep it by your side for long and enjoy it from the bottom of your heart. And share the quality and legacy of the S2000 with many friends so that the legend of the S2000 will continue for long
