Any body roll you get will cancel out any slight camber gain the suspension gives you.
CJ, you may have slightly wider front tires (225's I'm guessing) but unless you put some wider wheels AND tires up there you're not going to see much benefit - not enough to cancel out the stiffness of the GT3 bar.
Your car has barely more negative camber than my stock-height Boxster S maxed out (-.8 versus -.6 for my car). If I were going to run the GT3 bar at the track I would want at least a degree and a half of negative camber up front, 245-width tires on 8.5" wide wheels (minimum). On the street... I just don't think it's a great idea to run the GT3 bar by itself. But to each his own, you are correct that you can always sell it.

Yes i do have the 225/45's infront.
Makes sense what you are saying in regards to camber and i understand that currently i do not have that much negative camber at -0.9 and -0.8 HOWEVER if needed it (which you've told me, which i believe) can get it cause i have ALOT of adjustment for camber to get the proper negative camber needed for a track day. Yeah I will look into other tire and wheel options that you and InSite have mentioned. How wide are the front and rear wheels on a stock 17inch boxster like the ones i have pictured in my sig?
