Default Boxster S Suspension Set-Up

I'm looking for info on suggested suspension settings for a '01 Boxster S (stock). Specifically, I want a setting that will strike a balance between good tire wear and improved handling on the track (emphasis maybe slightly more on handling since the car is not driven a ton). The car is a "spirited" weekend driver that will see occasional DE time...a street aggressive setting is what I guess I'm looking for.

What are the factory camber and toe-in settings on the '01 Boxster S?

Given my explanation, what would are the suggested ideal compromise camber and toe-in settings? I've heard the following:

FRONT:
camber: -1.0 front (or max out the camber setting)
toe: 0

REAR:
camber: -1.5 rear (up to -2.0)
toe: 1/8" toe in

Thoughts? What are other Boxster owners going with?

I was thinking of doing the same. I know of a Boxster owner who's using -1.0 camber up front and -2.5 camber in the rear,without any unusual wearing.Handling has greatly improved.

Just be aware, I have a RHD car......


I took a photo of the tyres when I removed them [ to fit 285's]
I was pleased with how evenly they had worn.
