It was pretty clear pretty quickly that I needed a brake pad upgrade. Have some Pagid yellows coming along with GT3 ducting.
I did find myself wishing for another 100hp - that would be a pretty sweet combo!

I am taking the car in for a performance alignment tomorrow. From what I'm gathering, maximum negative camber front AND rear? Should toe be as close to zero as possible?

Thanks,

Mike
1:50 is a good lap for a first look at Laguna. That is top BSX territory for experienced Boxster drivers. Nice job. (you do have 120hp on us though )

Yes max negative camber front (-1ish), -1.5 rear, a touch of toe out in front, and a touch of toe in for the rear. This should get you in good territory with quick but predictable response and reasonable tire wear.
