alignment range with stock suspension

Most of the "performance" alignment specs I've seen listed (usually around -.07 camber, +4.5 caster, 0 toe) are given by people who have lowered suspensions.
I tried to get these settings on my stock WS6, but the mechanic could only get: -0.4 camber, +4.0 caster, 0 toe, saying that he had no more room for adjustment.
To get those performance settings, is a lowered suspension necessary? or is it possible to get those settings within the factory setup (and i just need to find a mechanic that knows the secret of how to do that)

Thanks!

That's about it for a stock sprung car.

However, that is a setting at neutral ride height. As the suspension compresses, you should get more negative camber.
