Racing Alignment on stock suspension

[MaxD]

You should be fine with those camber settings.

What did you set toe at?

I run -3.0 and 0" toe front and -2.0 1/16" toe in rear. I do have GT3 arms.

I signed up today for the DE and the time trial. Also I can point you to a reliable SLC place that can do alignments for a lot less than $169.

Innovative Garage? Let me know who you're referring to.

Seeing how this will be my first HPDE I'm sure it will work for my skill level.

Rear tow is .10 LR and .13 RR.

How do you like your settings? Is this just something you went with our is it your final setting after many. Also how much do GT3 arms cost?

I didn't register yet but I plan to. I'm going to the autocross event towards the end of the month as well. I should also add I originally wanted to have it done by Russ alignment but they're booked for sometime. They're normally who I've used for sometime now

Rear tow is .10 LR and .13 RR.

Which equals 1/10 + 3/20 = 5/20 = 1/4" = way too much toe in. You cannot get that much camber in the rear without having too much toe whilst still using the stock suspension. I do not believe you are going to love your new setup nor what it does to your tires. I suspect that it is going to push like a bulldozer and destroy its rear tires.

Since we don't know whether those specs are in degrees or inches let's stop the bulldozer talk. In degrees it's fine. .23" of total toe would be a bit more than desired but is not going to kill the fun or the tires immediately. On most cars when power is applied the rear tends to toe out. If everything is solid back there (spherical bearings) that would really be a big deal, but it's a stock car with rubber bushings of unknown age running Hoosiers.

No matter what the settings, a stock Boxster is going to plow and that is what Porsche intended.

The alignment place is Ability Automotive, just off 3900 S. About $80 for whatever specs you want.

Thanks Max, I know exactly where it is. That's a killer price.

Toe is in degrees, I thought that was assumed. It's still within factory allowed tolerance.

Apologies for my mistaking the degrees for inches. I assumed the toe in inches based on the camber settings. Absolutely no idea how they achieved that with a stock setup. I have always been led to believe that you cannot get both camber and (lack of) toe without adjustable rear toe links. Must be wrong. Good luck.
