Fresh suspension - how do I align it well enough to limp to the alignment shop?

Hi all,

I finally got all my suspension reassembled from my winter refresh project (all new ER rubber bushings, turbo tie rods, all new bilsteins). Since I had my rear t-bar and spring plates re-plated, I have no means of knowing how everything was lined up before disassembly.

I'm not going to attempt the DIY alignment and/or corner balance, but need to get things roadworthy enough to limp it over to the local Porsche suspension guru - about 15 miles away.

I didn't move the front camber plates, and I made sure the turbo tie rods were the same length as the old ones on each side, so I'm not too worried about the front.

I used the online spring plate angle calculator to index the rear spring plates with the ride-height eccentric centered, so I'm not too worried about that.

What should I do with the toe and camber eccentric bolts? I'm thinking of just putting each in the middle of their adjustment range.

Thanks!
