Default alignment questions

took TTANIUM over to Curry's the other day to have it aligned, and they couldn't do it that day because the rear toe is pretty far off on the left side. They said they had to order an Audi special tool that lets them move/hold the rear beam assy in place while retightening when at specs (about $400 they said). Anyway, their Hunter machine didn't come up with any specs for the rear of a TT. I went into my Bentley, and there is a table for rear camber based on whether you want the sport or stock specs, depending on the standing heighth of the car (wheel center to bottom of fender edge. I noted that all of the PZQ sport settings were pretty much greater than 2 deg neg camber.
Did a search, and Steve Schwing is recommending
Toe in F: 1/16th
Toe in R: 1/16th
Camber F: .8
Camber R: 1.6
which are more like the stock specs, and Gary Gesttalt also recommended to someone with similar Bilstein/Eibach arrangement to go closer to stock specs. I've got the same, with 1/2 KMAC.
Opinions/thoughts?

Default Fig....I think that's because....>>

There is NO adjustability and as you lower to the sport spec, camber naturally increases. I think it's less a recommendation, than what you get whether you like it or not!

PS, If you had the full Kmac that toe adjustment would be a LOT easier! Hope they aren't charging you for the tool!
