I do... 
I thought that was part of the UK alignment.
Toe is bad for street cars because it kills tires.

UK does not call for 0 in the rear- it does for the front.

I'm sure it'll say 1/16" to 1/8" total toe-in. The only other difference that I could think of might be the FSB and bump and rebound settings.

Yea, you're right Pete. Like I said it was just a thought that ran across my mind and then out the tips of my fingers without any real thought.
There are a LOT of autoX organizations around. You should be able to find some that are closer.
In the Winchester area is Mercedes.
Bowie and Frederick, MD areas we have CDC
FedEx area has SCCA
Cumberland has it's summer season
North of Baltimore you have Philly SCCA and other local clubs
NOVA is one area without a decent autoX series in part because lots are hard to find and almost impossible to actually use.

I thought it was .20 per side with a total toe of .40"

I was quoting in inches. Your numbers should be in degrees. 0.4" or approximately 1/2 inch is huge. It should be 0.40 degrees. The numbers are close though.

And those are for the first two year models. People have erroneously stuck with the specs are the holy grail of street alignments. They are more than likely not optimal for AP2's as drive shafts are longer and bumpsteer was addressed.

For what it is worth, I am VERY happy with the handling of my car as well as the tire wear. I can't believe how much I am getting out of my KDW's...
I am going to check over my records this evening and post up what my actual measurements are as well as how many miles I have put on the car since.
