    There's a DIY somewhere on how to shift the subframe manually, I usually hand that to them if it's a Firestone I've never been to before.
    +1, proper toe is going to be one of your first priorities with regards to preventing any excessive or quicker than normal tire wear.

    Thanks. Is that what you tell them? "Set the toe in to +1, please."

    Not the Toe to +1... ask them to set the Toe to factory spec and camber as close as they can... For the camber they can do nothing in front (without adjustable control arms)so you will see negative numbers.
