The only thing maxed out right now is my wallet

I'm not new to track driving, but I consider myself a beginner none the less. I'm aiming to use to street legal "slicks" such as advan ad048 or Toyo 888s.

The track I will be visiting the most has a really high speed trail braking corner . The corner is down a steep hill, down the hill at Spa type steep, into a high long corner which tightens to 90 degre turn back up the hill. This corner is very off-camber and places a lot of load on the car. My Clio 197, on lowering springs and with 17"Advan AD08s needed -2 camber front and rear for tyre wear to be even across the width of the tyres. I'm thinking the Boxster is similar in weight and power but I don't know how the lower CG and wider 17" tyres will load the tyres down there.

Since I'm broke right now anyway, I am going to run with the camber plates only before I make up my mind. I had initially planned to do an all out build, but plans change...
