Alignment settings
What is the prefered alignment settings for a S2k? Or are they even adjustable? The car is stock and on street tires.
Edit, it's a 2000my.

Re: Alignment settings
Some good info here although not street-tire centric...

Even on street tires the car needs more front bar, IMHO (just not a ton more)...

It's not my car, I can't afford an Honda(unless it's free- like my civic was). I'm trying to help a friend out. He just got back from Iraq and bought the S2K.
