What options are there for getting 1.5 - 2 degrees of negative camber on the front wheels on an old boxster?

Are there any seriously active boxster forums too? After a bit of googling I'm struggling to find much info.

What options are there for making the gear change better? Less sticky and quicker?

Thanks Iin advance.

You may want to take a look over onto Planet 9 http://www.planet-9.com/ as they tend to do quite a bit more modding in the US than we do here. Another option for getting the degree of front camber you are looking for is to fit longer lower control arms from a GT3 or after market ones from someone like RSS or Tarett.

There are a wide range of quick-shift kits available that appear to make the gear change much sweeter. Have a search on e-bay.

I'm comfortably at -1.5 to -2 on both my Boxsters by modding the top mount turret. If your gearchange is 'sticky' and won't self centre then it is most likely the cables. I have tried cleaning up and lubing the cable ends at the gearbox with some improvement but the real solution was to fit a new cable set.

Hi RMac, I would speak to either Brookspeed or Hartech, as both have race boxsters.
