Yea. I got it aligned but he said they got it as close to camber as possible but with the current set but its still not perfectly in the middle. He also said its toed as much as possible as well. It was lowered by the previous owner and they also said the rear was fine as well as the car had a lot of suspension work done to it. The alignment was def off. This was looked at and aligned at Kauffman tire. They are a tire place not what Id call a specialist so maybe it was bad advice. I plan on contacting a local Porsche tuning shop tomorrow.

I'm not a Boxster "expert" but I have owned two and never had any uneven tire wear regardless of tire type. Unless you are completely confident in your tire person's ability, I would take it to another shop. You may have a racing suspension installed which would have a different camber set than a street set up. If so, unless you want to frequently replace tires, I would change the suspension to a set up more in line with your intended use for the car.

Thanks for the help. I def think a second opinion is in order. I like the lowered look but I want to make sure Im not doing damage with the setup. Ill report back what I find out.
