alignment problem

so i posted in another thread how after our trip to california the front tires were down to the belts from improper alignment - i got new tires which are 50 series whereas the old fronts were 55 series - this resulted in the front ride height being a little low - i turned the adjusters up about 4 turns without lifting the car and got it within 2mms of the recommended 180mm - fender height very close to 27 inches - drove it 15 miles and it stayed there - took it in to a shop that works on a lot of porsches - i told him about the previous alignment and that the car could not be lifted before adjusting - after car was done he said he didn't lift car, did all adjustments, everything was in spec - then he lifted it up to check if the front end was tight - said everything looked good but when he lowered the car back down it was about 20 mm too high - he drove it around but it still didn't return to the 180mm height he measured before lifting it - i drove it home (about 10 miles) and it's still that 20mm too high - so what happened here - should i just wait and drive it some more and see if it drops ... which is what i told him i'd do - he said he'd stand behind his work and if it needed further alignment he'd take care of it - he said he did not turn the height adjusters at all - so what do you think is going on here ???
