I thought the ZHP came with more negative camber?

-.5 degrees of camber (for a total of -1.1 degrees) according to this.

Dealers charge too much for an alignment and I've read so much on the forums about good tire centers doing alignments, I decided to do some research. The place I went to is an independent tire shop with two locations, I've always heard decent things about them, and the online research absolutely validated that they know what they're doing. They are not even a BMW indy. But, they were used to dealing with higher end cars (I'm sure quite a few modified) modified so I figured they'd know more than the average place, and likely more than the dealer who might not deal with a lot of lowered cars. Don't know that for sure. This place charged $119. There was another place that I thought about for $89, but decided to go with a tire specialist over a "do-everything" shop.

Sounds good to me
The guys down here at Autobahn South build race cars and specialize in suspension so I will just hand them the keys and let them work their magic anyway when the time comes. They have earned my trust without question.

Please ask them what they use as specs so we can further complete the research...

What Dane said. As well, check yelp for reviews. Not the most scientific way, but you can usually tell from the reviews what types of cars they handle. Like, "I took my BMW to xzy and there were several other BMWs in the lot... did a great job, yada yada"
