Default Track Alignment?

How close to the track alig​​​​nment spec can you get without moving the upper control arm to body washers?

We've checked several cars and they're all slightly different, but you can usually get -2.7 to -3.2 front and around -2.0 rear without removing anything.

Not to surprising considering there’s only a simple slightly thicker washer you flip. Be nice to have one of the two front and rear where you didn’t have to flip.
