Default Alignment question for Nismo S-tune

Installing my S-tune suspension this weekend and was looking over older threads and the alignment specs. Wondering how far out of spec other's were when they had theirs aligned?

Also, I saw one mention of having them set the front toe-in to the max spec of 2mm when done. What is the reason for this? Is there some benefit I should be aware of in some of these specs that I should specify when I take mine in, or can I just take it to the dealer and say "I just got the Nismo suspension installed; align it for me, please".

Should I have it done at the dealer or somewhere else?

The Nismo alignment is tricky business. Don't assume that a dealer will do it correctly. I had mine done at a specialty alignment shop. Everything can be properly aligned, except front camber. There was no possible adjustment for this with the rest of the stock suspesnion components. However, there was only 1 degree of negative camber, which is negligible, and probably desireable for maximal cornering capability.
