If you are doing it DIY you can max it out your self before taking it for alignment. Alignment shop only adjusted toe slightly but otherwise I had -3.1° with how I set it up on stands.
Something that help me a lot in the installation was doing the following:

So, the idea is with all the new components already in place but still loose, drop a little the car in a piece of wood that should we offset towards the outside of the wheel.
Doing so, you will maximize the camber. Then, tighter all bolts (in that position, with the piece of wood helping the camber).
Lift the car, remove wheel and now torque to spec.

If you are lucky both side with have similar camber. I manage negatives 3.2 and 3.1, with pedders+ crash bolts(both)

Later go to the alignment shop to check camber and they will finish with toe alignment.

Hope I was clear enough.
