Yup, that's what I'm running right now as well. I got an alignment done last year and maxed out the front negative camber at a whopping .5 degree and it helped but it still has a propensity to push in slow corners. I'm just looking for an extra edge out on the autocross course. Since I run in stock class there isn't a whole lot I can do and still stay legal.

O Crap...you have a 6-speed. Wanted one myself, but settled for this old farts Boxster instead. Still fun to drive.

LOL! Me too, old Phart that is, just turned 69 last Oct.

Now I have a wheel dilemma. I have a set of 8x18F & 10x18R five spoke Carrera Lightweights. I need to have them refurbished before they are presentable but they were cheap enough to consider getting them spruced up. Original Porsche wheels from a C4, '02. I am currently running the straight windmill spoke specific to the '01 Boxster, 7x17 F & 8.5x17R which I am fond of plus the width of tire still delivers decent mileage. What I wonder is what, if any, weight increase will be if I switch to the 18's? Cost of tires is a bit more expensive but not that bad. Any buddy have weighed their 18's for comparison? Also when you switched to 18's, did your mileage suffer?
