Yes, they should be able to convert the units you provide to the units they measure if necessary. You could provide both if you want to be safe.
For rear toe I decided to try my current setup at the suggestion of Righteous Spec (someone that used to do many S2000 alignments in Jacksonville) and it fit my driving style so I've stuck with it.

Haha, don't count on any shops around here to convert minutes/seconds for the toe. I always received the dumbest looks when I explained the numbers (both min/sec and degrees because I wasn't sure what each shop used) I had written down. Be sure to convert to degrees for them like ado has, it will save a lot of headaches.
UK alignment w/ maxed out caster is a great start.

Well then, I guess basic math isn't so basic.
Kenny did a great job last year on Hellbender (the best road in the area). Why am I so slow at the Auto-X events Kenny?

Im glad Im taking mine to World Import, I will present them with the same numbers you have written down and hope they can get it done. From what Im hearing, there is one guy who does the alignment for them, his name is Nate. He might be the same guy who did yours.
Toe
0* front, 0.15* rear (0.3* total)
Camber
-1.6* front, -2.1* rear
Caster
Max it out, I'm at 6.3* left and 6.5* right.
*=degrees
And thats Toe-In right?

Jason and Nate are good guys. I just don't like their boss. Dude with the mustache and slicked hair. He is a jerk. He is one of those guys that don't need to be in the service industry but is.
