if HR, bilstein or orbit figure out what to do to put coil overs on, let's keep each other posted. i spoke with lex at moton. nothing yet.

Yes, I think -1.3 degress is pretty close to where you'd want to be with street tires and a car that drives mostly on the street. Any more and you'd have lots of tire wear on the road...

) Hoosiers and a decent suspension setup would be nice If the Cayman was bone stock except for Hoosiers, I'd say that's a pretty successful first outing - I'm sure you weren't pushing it 100% with your new car! Glad to hear you had a good time, I saw two Caymans there, a gray and a white one, which was yours?

I have been told that some of the GT3 Street cars are running around 2:30. 2:35 for a stock Cayman and not pushing it is not bad and can be better.

Sebring was a blast last weekend. Cant wait to get back! I would love to take a Cayman around the track. I test drove one a couple of weeks back and was very impressed. I can't imagine what a well modded one would do.

well im on the Boxster Spec Racing committee for POC. and we have been looking at better ways to get more camber out of the front end of the Boxster. the 987, 997 and C7S (cayman) all are the same. You can get much more negative camber without drilling holes into the car's body. Also, it will hold alignment much better.
