The rears were shot and showed excessive camber wear.  Immediately upon driving back from Buffalo I swapped to my old Boxster's Carrera Cup IIs.

9-12-2011: I have autocrossed the car on the street tires twice now - once in the rain, once in the dry - the car is still beyond my capabilities to drive it.
                I did have some serious work done to the car - I took it to Eksten's and had them set up the suspension.  Specs are as follows:

                        -Converted from bolts to hubs in the rear, fitted with 7mm spacers for more clearance when lowering
                        -Lowered the car 1", corner balanced with 150 lb ballast in driver's seat.
                        -Shocks set at 5 all around
                        -Front alignment is 0.03" of toe out, -1 degrees camber
                        -Rear alignment is 0.08" of toe in, -1.8 degrees camber
                        
                The car is now beyond my ability to drive.  Whereas with the Boxster, stock, I had exceeded what it could give, and with the Boxster with M030 + slicks I was approaching the
                limits, with this car I am nowhere near the limit, even with street tires.
