First HPDE in my 986 - next mod?

[CrisZenithBlue]

Mr Steve! thanks for input! its great to hear it from someone running the same setup!

i am going to order them. indeed tire rack says they are an approved tire for the wheels.

i am very excited to take the box out there and have some fun! i havent done an HPDE since i had my S2000 but that car always scared me a bit. i feel my confidence will be greater in the Boxster, especially after a few autocross events that i've done.

this one is in Palm Beach in July and i want to work my way up to Sebring, that's going to be a challenging track that i've never done.

i think i am on the slippery slope.. but hey might as well do it now before marriage and kids

hey Steve what do you recommend as far as alignment goes? i want to go with something a bit more aggressive like JayG was mentioning on this thread.

what's your setup?

[CrisZenithBlue]

Jay thanks a lot! already put the order in for the RS3s and i think it's a good start. once i get through these i will look at other options and most likely try something new. i'm just starting out so I appreciate any info you more experienced guys throw my way.

When I was on stock suspension, I got the setup from this board, which was:

Max out neg camber in the front (around -1.0)
Leave the back where it was, which seems to be around -1.6 from the factory
No toe in, in the front (may make it wander a little bit for street driving and require more attentiveness, but I never noticed any)
A little toe in the back, like 3mm (whatever that means? ) They may have to change your rear camber a little to get this dialed in.

Make sure both sides are the same. They will do that if you ask.

That was the best feeling setup I had, once I started fiddling and adding parts the complexity went up a lot... Blah...
