The thin ecentric bolt wrench is not really necessary since whoever aligns the car is just going to change its setting anyway. Set the spring plate adjustment in the middle, get the ride height close and take it to the Porsche mechanic of your choice for aligning.

To set the ride height you'll need the little magnetic protractor thing from Home Depot. Some large sockets are necessary, 24mm and 36mm IIRC. Never done trailing arm bushings, so I don't know what special tools you need there.
