Ok, I had been assuming what you guys have stated - the Nationals results would seem to indicate that the Boxster and S2K stay together. I just thought an announcement had been made and I had missed it.

Now, back on topic:

The primary reason for the toe out is to combat the understeer provided by such a large sway bar. However Jason brings up a point I didn't think of, which would be the inside wheel spin issue.
Yes, the large sway bar keeps the car from oversteering but it also reduces the wheel spin which causes damage to the diff, not to mention lost time on course.
So softening the bar brings back the steering response as well as inside wheel spin. Shocks will now play a big part in finding the balance so I can now see the benefit to the double adjustables, I just can't afford them so I think at first I will sacrifice inside wheel spin for turn in and have the old "I was just driving along" excuse when it comes time to take the diff to the dealer.
