total noob question: my buddy has an s2000 and he got it aligned to uk specs yesterday. The front camber is -1 and rear camber is -2. I was always under the assumption that you run more camber in the front then the rear?

Thai should have a good answer for you on this. He owned and raced an S.

A coupled of Sr20s will pull a premium in those things.

AP1 s2000 have a tendency to over steer. Adding more rear camber reduce over steer

Some brake clean and 80 grit sand paper are going to be your friend. Or go to rockauto and get some centric rotors if you do not feel like cleaning yours up
Thanks, guys. These are all good ideas to try. Since I don't have the facilities to diagnose the problem, dismount and sand rotors etc., can you recommend a shop in the area that can do this?

Did you try re bedding the pads yourself. A couple 75mph slow downs might clean the material off the rotors. or follow an actual bedding procedure. Im not sure of a shop to take it to, not much for following procedures either. Good luck

Do you ever go to the oaks meets anymore, I think ive meet you there a few years ago

Try bedding them first like someone else mentioned. You don't need to take anything a part to do that.

I'm sure you could convince one of us to help you with it for the price of some good beer. A shop would be pretty expensive to do something so easy. Plus sometimes when you have brake shudder it's a pain in the *** to get rid of without replacing rotors. That my two cent worthless opinion.
