08' C2S. About 10k on the odometer. I bought the car with about 8k from the previous owner. Took her in today for an oil change and other first annual related maintenance to Princeton Porsche in NJ. The main reason and excuse I took her in was really to get a well overdue alignment done. The car always felt a little too aggressive on the toe in. Like as if I was driving my car on train tracks. Almost too centered. After the alignment today, I felt like I got a new car. So much more confidence on corners and just a more dynamic feel on straightaways.
My specs are -1.0, Toe 0.02 for the fronts.
-1.5, Toe .14 in the rear.
I was surprised to how off and inconsistent the factory settings were, which were all over the place (I got a print out of before and after settings info).
Big props to Princeton's service manager John. He is one of those service managers that simply "gets it". Thanks again and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone in the NY/NJ area.
I honestly feel like this is something every owner should get taken of and customized to their liking, due the clearly apparent immediate performance gain while addressing the inconsistent factory settings. Best money I've spent on my car so far!

next step is to put all gt3 suspension parts in there, if you want way stiffer and much more precise steering. but it is not needed at all for a street car of course.
