You are probably best to let it set for a week have it aligned towards the outside specs to allow room for when it settles. You might just have to have it re-aligned a second time but it's not worth messing around with a safety and performance issue to save $100.
I don't think it's fair to fault the shop entirely, if at all. This was a big job that included front & rear camber kits. I knew I would need an alignment, yet didn't anticipate such squirrelly handling after the install.

Appointment for alignment has been made for SAT. I'll request outside specs as you mentioned. Thanks.
