Need C63s alignment specs

Hello,
I have the @K-Mac camber kit and I need some alignment specs. I took my car for an alignment and as usual it is hard to get the shop to understand the alignment specs since the Kmac kit changes what factory specs are.
So from factory its around -2 degrees camber for the rear and I asked the shop to put it around -1 degree to help with tire wear and to stay close to factory specs. The shop asked me what toe adjustments I wanted explaining that changing camber can change the way the car drives so I might want to change the factory toe settings. I couldn''t find a thread for people showing thier alignment specs with the Kmac except for one person @mpowell who said his shop set his to these specs for the TRACK with.
Camber
-3.1 Front
-2.3 Rear
Toe
1 mill out Front
2 mill in Rear

If i'm reading his specs correctly the front toe is 1 mm = 0.8 degrees out and the rear is 2mm = 1.6 degrees in which is way out from factory specs. (Shop said 1mm = 0.8 degrees)
For factory specs this is what the shops system showed.

Range
Front Left 0.12 - 0.29 / 0.29 - 0.12 Front Right
Rear Left 0.03 - 0.27 / 0.27 - 0.03 Rear Right

I decided to go with the factory toe specs with -1 degree of camber front and back. My car is still at the shop so I don't have an alignment print out, but can anyone tell me if those specs are okay or share what your specs are.
Hopefully that made sense. I am also running 265/35R20 Front 285/30R20 Rear PS4s. Zito wheels 20x9 and 20x10. Factory height.

Hi

Yes now with the ability to be able to adjust both Front Camber and Caster along with Rear Camber would suggest the –1 degree front and rear Camber setting.

While Front Toe - suggest 1 to 2mm toe out, Rear Toe - at plus 2mm toe in overall.

Seeing you’re now able to adjust (and separate adjustment) you could have Camber drivers side at say - 3/4 and to cater for high cambered roads / excess wear passengers side - have it –1 degree Camber !

The Align shop should be impressed re the unique patented design “single wrench” adjustment system. Allowing ultimate precise adjustment - direct on alignment rack “under load”.

Thank you for the reply. I will have them set the front wheel toe 1-2mm out and rear toe 2mm in.
