There's basically no camber gain on a Boxster anyway - price we pay for having struts. Best solution for a track-only car is to go super stiff and add lots of camber. On any car with struts, ESPECIALLY lowered cars with a large roll couple and stock ball joint locations, it's especially true. 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.
