Billroth, those are fender measurements - but they do give us a good idea that your car is pretty low. The 25.5"/25" ratio stated here is lower than porsche spec. You are ~0.5" lower than that. 0.5" lower on a car is extremely large with respect to suspencion geometries.

Try bringing the car back up to actual Euro height spec and then perform the alignment. From there you can come down.

Worn bushing may affect rear alignment some, but the front should be minimally affected under static conditions. Bad tie-rods will not affect camber settings.

Shocks do not support your car. Worn shocks may result in bad handling, but they do not affect alignment. You may need to adjust height somewhat for Bilstein's do to their slight spring effect, but I would get your ride height dialed in first, seconded by an alignment.

Good luck.
