Got the car back today from the suspension work!
PSS9's installed and H&R front and rear sways, alignment, corner weighted, 15mm spacers in the rear and 6mm in the front.

Before front was -.3 and rear was -1.5
Cross was 48.8%
Left was 51.8% and rear was 53%

After front is -.5 and rear is -2.2
Cross is 51.2%
Left was 51.8% and rear was 53%

Ebay CF mirror covers was an easy installation with 3m two sided tape included. The Ebay CF side fents came with silicon sealent the glue them on the stockers (assuming I had a caulking gun) and was a little tough to push the silicon out but they are curing tonight.

The wheels came flush with the body and no more submarine look with the 19" Carrera S wheels. The car handles much better now. The steering is more direct and slightly firmer, the ride is very close to stock with the rears set at one click away from soft and the fronts 4. The only thing I am worried about is the ride height, it's slammed and real close to the ground. Underbody has not rubbed yet on speed bumps but I do hear the plastic guards rubbing over it.

I recommend this setup to any boxster owner and although it was an expensive suspension setup, it brings me smiles when I drive it and look at it.

Pics tomorrow (in a new thread) when I install the CF vents.

if you paid for the cross weighting. i'd go back. 5.18% is not close enough. at least not for me, and not if you paid money.

my car is literally at 50%, with me in the seat, with my helmet on. it only took me 15 minutes to set it that accurately, but then again, i wasn't that far off to begin with.

everything else sounds great!

Is this camber? Why not more negative camber up front? You should be able to get at leat -2 in the front. Heck, stock you can get, typically, -1.5 to -1.8. Typical alignment has the rear camber only about .5 more than the front. This would also improve handling. With -2.2 rear you may find a need to frequently order rear tires
