Can someone with a '18-'19 Mustang GT Base post up the factory alignment specs or spec sheets after alignment. Thanks!

Story Time: I took my '18 S550 into an alignment shop after lowering it with Steeda progressives and they only did a toe job on the front. Tech said the camber adjustment in rear was miniscule for the time It would take to adjust. Toe in the rear wasn't checked either. Seems like laziness to me oh well ill try a new shop... I have gathered some specs from reading on here that seem pretty good; feel free to let me know if I need to change something. This is mainly a Daily Driver with some spirited driving here and there.

Front:
Camber -1.5 to -2.0
Toe 0.00 - 0.01 each side

Rear:
Camber -1.4 to -1.6
Toe 0.10 - 0.15 each side

I would recommend this:

Front camber: -1.7
Rear camber: -1.5

Front toe: 0.00
Rear toe: 0.12 per side or .24 total toe

Thrust angle: 0.00

Pretty sure the specs are the same as the 2017, as little has changed with the suspension. Here are my settings, though I am modded with PP1+Magneride.
Front:
Camber -1.9 to -2.0
Caster 7.4 to 7.6
Toe 0.0 to 0.01
Rear:
Camber -1.6 to -1.8
Toe 0.10 to 0.12

I surprised it can go to -2.3 without mods. The manual doesn't even give a recommended camber alignment for the rears, just 1.5 +/- .75 for the front. Ive got the track handling pack which drops it an inch and Im about to throw on camber bolts on the front and go get it alligned but I looks like that might not be necessary.

I was going to put the bolt at the farthest negative camber it would allow and drive to go get the alignment done, trying for -2.0ish front and rear. Driven 4-5k a year with once a monthish track days. Looks like with the camber bolt maxed out it may already be to much? Id just hate to have to spend money on two alignments if the camber bolt is in fact needed, trying to get it knocked out once. I'll have to do some more searching I suppose
