Tweeks
I am heading down to NJMP Thunderbolt this weekend with Del PCA.
I have had the alignment done and added a -1deg camber to the front wheels.
Also I have had the transmission fluid changed, I have already noticed shifting is smoother.

You are correct mrd_spy.
The camber was not 0.
I have a copy of the report and should have been more precise.
Left was -0deg 36' and now it is -1deg 05'
right was -0deg 48' and now it is -1deg 02'
This is the limit of the stock LCA.

Mmm.. I woudn't classify a value less than 1 degree as 'quite a bit of camber'. It is more like zero camber in reality. The outer edges of my tires wore away after only 2 track days with the stock camber setting. I ended up getting RSS LCAs and increased my camber to -2.0. Hardcore track guys go more aggressive than that.

my experience with my '11 Boxster S:
1 day with stock suspension at Pocono (on street tires) chewed up the outside of the tires really nicely.
subsequent days (15+ days) on various tracks with GT3 LCA and 2.25 rear camber / 2.25 front camber and EQUAL wear side to side on the tires.

Confirmation!!
Tweeks have been successful!!
Two days on Thunderbolt have proven, minor adjustments and fresh fluids make big differences!
Also they helped me advance to the white run group.
How cool is that!!

What size tire is on the 11 Boxster S?
Did you any other modifications?

Nice..do you think maximizing the camber on stock LCA made any difference?
