0 toe in back on a cayman is fine. usually i have them set it JUST a tad toe in & run zero up front. FYI, if you run slicks, it's possible for the toe link eccentrics to move. tarret engineering makes an assembly that locks them in place. basically, the toe links are replaced w/ double adjustable rod type links & the eccentrics are locked at full extension.
in this case, it sounds like your camber eccentric moved. FYI, the torque spec for that fastener is 81ft-lb. this is a common mistake by an alignment shop because this fastener is difficult to tighten with the wheel on and the diagonal in place. this was laziness on the part of the shop.
the 3/32" per side quote from larry may be a tad much toe in for a cayman.
