My 02 4s is getting lowered next week by my mechanic. Not my Porsche indie but my other mechanic. Fixes all my other cars, always super busy and been there for 20 years or so.
My indie won’t do work since I already have the parts. No biggie. Anyhow he asked me to get the alignment specs. Can I use these specs? These are what my indie did when he aligned it last year. Commented this is the right set up for this car. Now that I am lowering an inch, still applicable? Also I noticed the front cambers are not within specification. They were previously .2 degree which was within spec. Do I use the .2 or -.5 as shown? Also does he need to get the tire pressures the same as shown?
Also, I bought adj toe link so no issue in rear adjusting. Thanks.

That looks like a super solid street alignment. Probably max the front camber(-1.5ish) and zero toe in the front. The rear looks great.
Enjoy

Thank you Shaun. Looking forward to getting this done. Cracked spoiler lips, broken under panels here I come.

This is very close to my numbers, and I am very happy. Too much front camber and the car tramlines.

I have an 04 996 2 wheel drive and my numbers are front zero camber and rear -1.0 camber. I lowered the car about 1 - 1 1/2 inch and the best adjustments I could get are front -0.8 and rear -1.9 Are these numbers OK or do I need to make some changes?

Those are fine. Keep an eye on your rear tire wear, if the inside edge starts to wear too much you may want to look at correcting it.
