Race and suspension guys How does my alignment specs look?
Stock 2009 base boxster. I took my car to get an alignment after buying it with a out of wack alignment. I took it to les schwab the tech said he could not get the rear camber to get within specs that it was maxed out the adjustment. What do you guys gather from the alignment numbers? Would it cause too much problem if left as it is if they cant get it any better.

Do you have adjustable coilovers? If so your ride height is probably lower on the right rear wheel than the left rear wheel and that's why its limited range is at a higher neg camber than the left rear wheel. Otherwise maybe the car was hit at some point and the subframe is a little more outboard on that side? Do you have stock rear toe arms? Any mods to the car?

Since this is the racing and DE section I assume you have the intention of tracking the car some? I don't know 2009 Boxster adjustment ranges but Im surprised the front negative camber is at -0.3, is it not possible to get close to -1.0 with stock components? If your not tracking it then Im sure the front camber is fine as is.

The eccentric screw in the foreground of your picture is the adjustment for rear toe. The eccentric in the background is the rear camber adjustment. The camber screw is towards the inside which minimizes camber which confirms your techs adjustment. As mentioned in post 2, ride height can affect camber.. You don't have adjustable ride height but can check that both sides are the same. I have seen broken springs on these cars. Has the car been in an accident?
