[s-cars] Urgent question about 2Benett camber plates (was alignment issue with lowered s4 '9)

[kbogach at comcast.net]

Did not get much response on it.  Question #1 is dropped  -  sorry for 
the crude question,  I am a  newbie in alignment.  I got it - same spec 
as for the stock suspension.
I did not have time this weekend to measure actual camber and decided to 
jump on GP for 2Benett camber plates.  Then it struck me:  will it work 
if  camber plates are already modified per Igor's spec?

Suspension work and camber plate mod was done in reputable shop in NH.  
Their alignment sheet is dead spec.  I don't know what is wrong.   Even 
though driver side plate is in  line with Igor's spec and the mount is 
pushed all the way ousided  the metal cord is sticking from the tire's 
inner edge.   The passanger side camber plate is different.  Its inner 
circle with studs is rotated about 5-10 deg clockwise.  Effectively,  
camber can be pushed to positive direction more with Igor's spec but 
doesn't it change caster? (again,  I am a newbie in alignment). 
Maybe, if I measure actual alignment,  it will clarify something.  
Earliest I can do it is Tuesday.   GP for 2B camber plates ends on 
Monday.  Please,  if someone has experience with 2B camber plates and 
understand its geometry,  I would REALLY appreciate your comments/advise 
on it.  Can I use 2Benett camber plates if camber plates on the car were 
modified per Igor's spec (inner stud circle moved outside 4 mm)

Thanks.
Konstantin.
