Alignmnet Specs of 2000 E430

Does anyone happen to have the Factory Alignmnet Specs for E430 model year 2000 ?

Is this the right Specs ?

Front Specs
Caster: 5.3deg +- 0.5deg
Camber: -0.6deg +- 0.4deg
Toe-in: 0.2deg or 3mm

Rear Specs:
Camber: -1.2deg +- 0.4deg
Toe-in: 0.35 deg or 5mm

I just had new Kumho Ecsta ASX installed, the rear wheels looked like this: / \, but the front wheels looked like this: | |.
I think my E430 is in needed of alignment and I would like to confirm the Factory Specs.

TIA

The caster and camber specs for your car depend on vehicle ride height. MB dealers use a measuring device made by Romess. The angle of the lower control arms and the rear axle shafts are entered into the alignment computer and the nominal specs are calculated. Since there are no eccentric bolts on a 210, like those on 123's, 124's, 126's, etc., you can only make small adjustments anyway. I looked up the range of caster and camber specs for your car, so I'll give you the mid-range specs.
Caster 5 to 6 degrees POSITIVE
Camber 1/2 to 1 degree NEGATIVE
Front Toe 0 deg. 10' (+/- 10')
Rear Toe 0 deg. 33' (+/- 7')

I think my Rear Camber is a lot more than 1 degree NEGATIVE, Front Camber is closed to zero. My 2000 E430 is stock, I did not lower the car. I would like to know what are the specs of my car, so that I can talk to the service advisor when I take my car in for alignment. Where did you get this specs ? I could not find it in the MB owner manual.

Is it okay to have my car aligned to the following specs ?

Caster: 5 to 6 degrees POSITIVE
Front Camber: 0 degree
Rear Camber: 1/2 degree NEGATIVE
Front Toe: 0 deg.
Rear Toe: 0 deg. 30'

Thank you ILUVMILS.
