i kind of agree with john. there is so much caster built into the boxster's suspension geometry that you just don't need that much static camber to correct any understeer. even w/ 1.4 degrees camber up front i was wearing the INSIDE edges of the tires on a race track. i had to use my pyro to dial in less camber & even out the tire temps. generally now i run 1.0 deg on street tires w/ even wear. i run a P225 / P265 stagger with a stiff rear sway and GT3 front sway. with stock sways and a P245 / P245 setup, i imagine the car would be as easy to rotate as mine is now.

an important thing to note is that OEM alignment specs even say that some POSITIVE camber is okay up front. this means your car could come straight from the alignment shop with positive camber and be IN SPEC. if you're having understeer issues, get a more agressive alignment FIRST, then see how it drives before you start swapping parts. the first time i did a more sporting alignment on my car, i was really suprised in how different it drove. MUCH better.
