Got the Boxster aligned for the first time since I bought it

[Pat]

I was hoping for -1.2 degrees of camber up front. They maxed it out and only got -0.5. Ugh. I had them minimize the camber in back and it still had -1.5.
So much for eliminating understeer. Toe was zero'd out all around.
I guess I'll have to play with tire pressures again at this weekend's track event. I'm not optimistic.

that sounds about right and about what you can get out of the boxster stock suspension.

What size tire are you running up front?

[Pat]

Right now the Boxster S is totally stock other than a deep sump oil pan and aftermarket one-piece seat. So tires up front are 225/40-18s if I remember right.

I know on my 17" wheel going from the factory recommended 205 to a 225 cured a bit of that inherent understeer. Perhaps next time you need new front tires pick out something a bit wider. I know that doesn't really help right now, sorry.

[Pat]

Yeah, next spring I intend on getting new wheels and tires, both of which will be wider.

if your serious about it, maybe it is time for a set of front adjustable camber plates
