Performance Alignment Specs

I'd like to have a performance alignment done on my 2007 Cayman S. Does anyone have recommended specs? I'll be using it for AX, track, and street (but not daily driver).

Thanks!

I had a hard time finding the info and help on the 987 Boxster alignment specs online. I found a bit on Cayman Club but nothing too much. I've just adjusted my alignment a few day ago and I hope this will help others in the future.

2008 Boxster S with H&R spring on non-PASM

Front: Camber -0.67 to 0.33 Final -1.3
Toe 0.00 to 0.09 Final 0.00

Rear: Camber -1.60 to -1.10 Final -2.4
Toe 0.00 to 0.17 Final 0.15

I was able to get more negative front camber (than the factory setup) by move the top bolts inward. The performance setting feels and perform great. This is just what I'm using so please decide if this is right for yourself.

These are just the general rules I go by for my 986S:

Zero toe in the front, maybe a little toe out if you will be racing it more than doing freeway driving. I go with zero toe on my car since I do drive it on the freeway and toe out feels really bad to me (twitchy) on the freeway.

A little toe in at the rear. I can't remember what I set mine to, but again, just a bit of toe in, NO toe out for sure (prone to snap oversteer).

I'm running about -2.3 degrees of camber in the front with Schnell camber plates and about -3.0 degrees in the rear. Those are both pretty extreme, but my car is also very low and I have fit issues in the rear that require the extreme camber. You might want to go to about -1.5 in the front and -2.0 in the rear for a street car or more like what I run for a track car. I think that -1.5 is the most you can get in the front stock though.

I agree with all of you. I just came from installing H&R springs (W stock struts) and final setup is:
FRONT: -1,5 camber and 0 TOE
REAR: -2.0 camber and +1,8 TOE
Im going to the racetrack this afternoon to see what happends.. but I made a quick test on a ramp exit and car was near perfect for a stock suspension
