Here's the way my car came from the dealer (BTW: this is with 19" carerra sport wheels and PASM, in case it matters), measured with 5/8 tank of gas and driver on board:
Front camber: negative 0.25 deg
Front Toe: 0.7mm OUT
Rear camber: negative 1.7 deg
Rear Toe: 1.5mm IN
This was less camber than I wanted up front, so I had my alignment guy rework the front end (only), to the following spec:
Front camber: negtive 1.1 deg
Front Toe: 2.0mm OUT
I like the steering-feel better now, and I think the additional negative camber at the front will reduce understeer (not that there was much) and keep the outside shoulders of the front tires from wearing so quickly at the track.
Have fun!

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Does anyone have ride height specs? I know those aren't in the manual, already looked, and we'll probably start around there and work our way down for tuning the Bilstein setup.

Thanks, but there is no guarantee that you had the right specs to begin with unless the dealer just did one before your delivery.
I try to keep a copy of an alignment printout or factory numbers in the car just in case I need them when traveling. I would think that any alignment shop could put the car back to original specs if they have updated their programs or have the right info that I give them. It would also be cheaper than going to the dealer.
