yea like I said, everything lines up great so where's the problem? I don't know what the alignment was before I pulled it apart but I know it tracked perfect and was completely stable in all situations/ speeds. Not now, not yet, it's still tramlining in the rear. I'm going to measure the throw of the eccentrics to confirm they're the same in case I've switched them. The eccentrics and the top mount are the only variables, right?

I have seen bent uprights (car involved in crash with DAPO) and bent struts, but it shows up in camber adjustment at the adjuster.
I have seen bent rear toe links.. I have even bent some!!
Are you stringing the car?
can you share the axle center line numbers? The strings side to side number?
I wonder if your box is not square around the car?

I'm on my third alignment shop  . This one has a rack with a lift on it and he seems quite knowledgeable but hasn't any direct Boxster experience.
I just remembered that the three mounting bolts in the strut cap are spaced so that incorrect placement in the car is prevented. Right?
The alignment is out the same way and to the same degree, on both sides -what does that say?

It means it's too low to achieve zero toe..
and yes, the bolt holes wont' allow you to install them incorrectly..

The simple solution?
Buy the double adjustable toe links. Pricey, but cheaper/easier than replacing the springs (again)

I know how to do it without the above *trick* parts, but I don't have any pieces made right now to build you a set 
Because of the SCCA "stock" class rules, I cant run the above *trick* pieces in some of my cars, so we had to come up with *something* that something works in this case/for you.

what if I slotted the upper mount holes and got to -1 CAM???
Geez all I did was move the ROW M030 strut down .625" in the hub carrier...that's easy to reverse...how much can you lower these before needing adjustable tie-rods Brad?
