My experience on this one says you will have trouble getting a tire / alignment shop to align it properly, even to factory specs let alone the aggressive setup you want.
Problem is they 1) don't know how to do it 2) won't take the time to do it right. They'll set the front toe and send you on your way with a printout showing the alignment out of spec, then tell you:
Choose one:
a) These cars don't have a caster/camber adjustment
b) This is the closest we could get to the spec, maybe the frame is bent
c) This is how all porshs are
When I've tried to get it aligned to my custom performance specs I've been told:
i) We won't give any warranty
ii) We won't do anything except factory specs
ii) Where did you come up with those specs and what makes you think you know what your talking about
I end up standing there babysitting while the alignment is performed, screaming when they try to put the lift under the floor and explaining the function of the rear toe/camber bolts. I've even taken wrench in hand with guys that insist it can't be done. Usually takes 4+ hours. I'm getting pissed just thinking about it.
Next time I'm doing my own alignment. Failing that, I'd go to a specialist like Custom Alignment on the east bay.
