Anything special about alignment of factory JCW

Is there anything special or difficult about making alignment adjustments that any alignment shop would not know how to do? Are the areas of adjustment hidden by any panels or anything?

I am going to pull the front plastic pins to put in the maximum available front camber and then have a shop check / adjust the alignment. I just want to make sure there won't be anything that a standard shop can't do.

Also, should I set any toe-in at all or just go for zero toe all around?

I don't believe there is anything special or different on the JCW setup. When I did my NM springs, the instructions give the stock and "performance" setup. My shop was able to use the "performance" NM specs., Roadster handles great. If they are familiar with Mini, no problem.

Anybody know what the performance alignment would be for the JCW hardtop? Probably a little toe-in somewhere?
