Small correction: CMP Racing experienced that catastrophic double camber adjuster failure during a 24-hour endurance race, not an 8-hour endurance race. Not sure if that makes it any better. Suspension components shouldn't be snapping in half period.
The compliance bushings on the front lower control arms of the S2000s pivot rather than rotate, so I don't think it would give you the same benefits in that application. Based on my admittedly limited experience with S2000s, I would probably opt to keep that bushing rubber for a street car or look at a full spherical bearing conversion for a track car.
Alignment will depend heavily on what tyres you use. We use Hoosier DOT R-compound slicks, and currently run between -3 and -3.75 deg camber. We played with the caster a bit and settled on a spec around +2.2 degrees.
I never thought of wrapping the metal bushings in Teflon tape!

Do you think it would be worth it on a S2000 to use teflon tape around the compliance bushing's bolt sleeve?

Could recommend some base line camber and caster specs. I am building a 92 honda for track days and time attack.

@@StudioVRM tires will ao52 or cr1 depending on if I am running gta or gridlife. The car does have full aero.
What your take on extended lower ball joint to correct suspension geometry.
Recommended wholeheartedly. It makes a big difference if your car is lowered even slightly.
