Race Alignment from the Suspension Guru
I took my xA to the best in the West.
Darin Nishimura of West End Alignment is well known to Southern California racers and tuners as the #1 man to go to for suspension setup.
I had to wait almost 2 months when I took in my S2000 to him, but this time he made me an emergency appointment after hours. (I'm planning a track day next week). There were 3 Evo's and 1 Porche there also.
He gave me the race alignment and installed camber bolts (went from .25 NEG to 1.75 NEG).
The car now dives into the turns with very little steering effort, and grips much better when cornering. It's a VERY noticable difference!
It's not easy to detect the negative camber, but compare the angle of the front tire to the rear:
