I put a set of the K-Sports on my car last week and just got it aligned. The car sits about 1/4" lower...definitely not much of a difference. I will be adjusting the ride height sooner or later. New front camber is at -1.5. Previous was only about -1.0 per side. Rear camber is -2.2, previous was -1.4( there's a lot more to go, if necessary). I asked for zero toe in the front, I got 0.04 on each side. On the rear, I asked for 1/16 toe, but I did not know the conversion for degrees. It is now set at -0.31 on each side...hmmmm.
As far as driving the car goes, the change is remarkable. Turn-in is INSTANT. And the steering response is unbelievable. The slightest movement, and the car is turning. On the highway, though, the car tracks nice and straight, and it is not an effort to keep it that way. A while back, I drove a Lotus Elise, and I was really impressed by how responsive and cart-like that car handled. That's about the way my Boxster feels now. The first day with the K-Sports so I was running around on my Pilot Sport Cups(AX tires), and I was just grinning as I tossed the car all over. For day-to-day, I've got Falken Azenis 512's, and they feel almost as good as the track tires.
