Track alignment questions

It's my understanding that the stock rear camber is -.9 degree, and the recommended rear camber is -2.0. Is this correct, and how difficult is it for an alignment shop to make that adjustment?

Does the front camber adjust give the recommended -2.7 degrees of camber?

Do you guys keep the factory toe settings from and rear? Do you adjust the caster?

I have looked at those specs, but that was not really my question. Thanks though.

Yes those are the correct specs although some people may want to tweak them to their own use. Yes you adjust the toe, you can't adjust the caster so that's not an issue. It's not hard for an alignment shop to do it as long as they aren't idiots and unfortunately based on how many people have issues with shops not being able to do it apparently most of them are. I'd call a few local dealers and see if they've done it before. And if they can't hit those specs they don't know what they're doing and don't pay them.

A well-known race shop (Stokes Tires) will do my alignment.

So just to confirm, you can get -2.7 degrees of front camber with the adjustment you can do yourself, correct?

A good alignment shop can adjust the rear camber to the recommended specs without any difficulty, correct?

Correct. The track specs are within the capabilities of the car in OEM form. For reference, I have achieved -3.0 in the front with no issues.
