Factory Alignment Specs
Any obvious choices away from factory settings?

I just had my rear alignment set to less camber. The inside of both rears were down to steel belts, and worn at a 45 deg bevel. There was still over 2/32 tread on the area near the excessive wear. The Porsche dealership said that the rears were set to over -2.5 degrees of camber, and that was out of spec. So they set it to near -1 degree camber. Since I don't race the car, thought it might improve the wear. That is yet to be determined.
I only have 2000 miles since the change, and the car is not quite as stable as before, and seems more influenced by uneven/worn roads.
I would also be interested in anyone opinion and their results.

If you are willing to give up a little on that 30,000 miles you got on your first set of tires I'd max out the front - camber at about .90 - 1 degree. This is the most you will be able to get with the car stock. I'd set slight negative toe in -.02 on the front as well. I'd set the rear to about -1.7 - -1.9 camber.
Car will feel noticeably better on turn in and will have a little less push. Tire wear will increase somewhat but to me it is not a concern.
