Alignment After Lowering

I just lowered my car about (-1.5 in all around), and I am trying to go in for alignment at a performance alignment shop and am not sure what kind of specs I should need.

RCE TARMACS 2'S
18 X 9.5 +40 57 Extreme Gramlights (all around)
235/40/18 Michelin Pilots Sport 3's

From what I read on the forum I should go with -2 camber in front and -1 camber in rear with toes at all zero.. Do I just go into an alignment shop and ask for this...and they should be able to figure out the rest....Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Do you have anything to adjust the camber with, i.e. LCA's or Whiteline UCA bushings in the rear? The fronts should be adjustable a bit since they are slotted. If you don't have anything on the rear, you won't be able to adjust anything except toe.

I went with -2* front with 1/32" toe out and -2.3* rear with 1/16" toe in. Your setup may vary depending on what you plan on doing, i.e. DD, track, etc. You want the camber as even as possible right to left and I would suggest at least 1/16" toe in on the rear.

It's my DD, but I work from home so it's more of a pleasure/entertainment car for me. I had my alignment guy give me a more aggressive setup based on my driving preferences.
