bax -

what are you using your car for? street, auto-x, track, combiniation? what kind of tires do you have? maxing out your front camber isn't necessarily a good thing.

the boxster has a LOT of caster built into its design. that means that as you turn the steering wheel, the suspension geometry actually adds camber. the further you turn the wheel, the more camber is added.

more front camber GENERALLY helps with understeer, and can increase lateral g capability. this comes at the expense of braking distance and straight line stability. in effect, you are trading straight line contact patch for a larger contact patch during corners.

the right amount of camber really depends on a lot of factors. give me some insight & i'll give you some insite.
