Several posts in the last few days with partial knowledge and errors.
RE: Nathan - Your specs sound good for mild performance alignment.
Yes castor is adjustable - both mounts of the upper A-arms have shim type adjustment. Thus in-out/camber and forward-back/caster are adjustable.
Rear axle of the 99/C900 cars has no adjustment. Any significant 'out of spec' in the rear indicates damage or badly worn bushing/s. Make sure that the rear specs are checked. This is a good time for visual inspection of upper A-arm mount bushings, and lower A-arm inspection for cracks.
If you are real serious about the alignment have weight in the front seat/seats per how the car is usually loaded. Some shops will let you sit in the car while they adjust to spec. Lowered 99/900's have significant change in alignment with minor changes in ride height/ weight. Stock height changes are less significant. Make sure to ask if shop will do align to 'off-spec', some will not because they think there may be some liability. Enjoy the improved responsiveness of your car.
