I asked if they could do my boxster and he said yes they do them, and that they use different rear end settings which dramatically improves tire life. Not sure what they do but I think I recall him saying that the factory uses way too much toe in at the rear (I could be pulling that out of my a** though).

You may well be correct as the Bridgestones I went through in 2K miles were on an 18" rim package I bought to replace the OEM 17's. The 18" rims increased rears from 8.5" to 10" of tread and for some reason this caused toe to be exaggerated. I ended up spending $500 on a kit so toe could be corrected enough to stop excessive wear. I've got new Sumis on the rear now and am curious to see how long they last.
