R56 factory alignment spec?

Just wondering if anyone knows the factory alignment spect for the R56? I've called about 10 shops and nobody has and update. My car has been lowered for a week(H&R) and it really need to be aligned. Question for anybody that has gotten there R56 lowered, does your car have a shimmy in the steering wheel between 20-30 MPH? because mine does and i've never had this in a lowered car. My friend at the dealership installed them and I think he knows what he is doing. please let me know thank

I used to lower the suspension, change out the exhaust and the header, and put on larger wheels. Then I started liking OEM setup and I stopped modding my cars. Less unique but less headache also.
