My other question is how much camber increase do you normally see when lowering a boxster? My last car had huge negative camber issues that actually couldn't be compleatly fixed even with a camber kit. Does the stock adjustment offer enough adjustment for something like an h&r sport series?

Thanks again
My vehicle has been lowered approximately 2 inches all around. In the final analysis, despite the dramatic change in ride height, realignment and chamber adjustment was successfully achieved without the need for chamber plates.. There is no reason why the same could not be accomplished with lowering springs. As far as the amount of chamber adjustment that is required, every vehicle is its own episode. Most after market lowering springs lower the vehicle anywhere from 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches. Anything less than that would seem negligible.
