I am going back to 32/36 to see what happens. Of course my DE tires are Continental Conti Sport 2 which I am finding out are not considered to be the best tires for the track. I am going to try my Michelins this weekend and see how they do.
It is entirely possible you overheated the rears. If that's the case, a bit more pressure all around might help.

The Boxster is harder on its rear tires than it is on the fronts.
