I think you misunderstood me. The machine used has nothing to do with it. What I'm referring to is that there are two cam bolts to adjust camber and toe on each rear wheel. On the Boxster, neither one of these bolts adjusts camber or toe independently. Adjust either bolt, and both camber and toe change. This can make alignments slightly finicky.

Typically a buddy and I have used strings (or something similar) to align cars with upper and lower A-arms since the camber and toe adjustments were pretty much independent. Not the case on the back of a Boxster.

I, too, plan on dialing in different toe settings for autocross. The "toe" link will adjust mostly toe, but you'll also change camber.
