It means it's too low to achieve zero toe..
and yes, the bolt holes wont' allow you to install them incorrectly..

The simple solution?
Buy the double adjustable toe links. Pricey, but cheaper/easier than replacing the springs (again)
Porsche Rear Toe Control Arm Link, 996, 997, 986 & 987

I know how to do it without the above *trick* parts, but I don't have any pieces made right now to build you a set 
Because of the SCCA "stock" class rules, I cant run the above *trick* pieces in some of my cars, so we had to come up with *something* that something works in this case/for you.

what if I slotted the upper mount holes and got to -1 CAM???
Geez all I did was move the ROW M030 strut down .625" in the hub carrier...that's easy to reverse...how much can you lower these before needing adjustable tie-rods Brad?

I push the rubber bushing out and install an offset mounting hole (made from alum) in the tow link (at the inside mounting point)

I appreciate your attempt You had the right idea, just didn't have the rest of the parts to pull it off!!
I have run shorter shocks, and moved them up
I have also run a specific Porsche upright that moves the wheel bearing up 2inches in the upright, but does not change the suspension geometry.
You just have to know what to buy
