Recommendations on track wheel/tire combo

[Mcarr]

Update: Did my first track day in my 987.2 bone stock car on street tires.
Had a blast. Laguna was a super good time. Ran a couple of 1:50s, so I felt good about my line selection.
It was pretty clear pretty quickly that I needed a brake pad upgrade. Have some Pagid yellows coming along with GT3 ducting.
I did find myself wishing for another 100hp - that would be a pretty sweet combo!

I am taking the car in for a performance alignment tomorrow. From what I'm gathering, maximum negative camber front AND rear? Should toe be as close to zero as possible?

Thanks,

Mike

1:50 is a good lap for a first look at Laguna. That is top BSX territory for experienced Boxster drivers. Nice job. (you do have 120hp on us though )

Yes max negative camber front (-1ish), -1.5 rear, a touch of toe out in front, and a touch of toe in for the rear. This should get you in good territory with quick but predictable response and reasonable tire wear.

Thanks Topless for the reply and alignment standards.
Well.....it wasn't really my first look- I had been on the track on a motorcycle before so I did already have a good sense for the flow and the line.

Looking forward to the next track day!
