05 G35X dropped on coupe springs, alignment specs. Camber kit?

went to get my tires installed yesterday. 245/40/19s on BBSs 19 x 8.5 38 offset. They did an alignment check and take a look.

before:
Left Front: Camber -0.7 / Toe .06
Right Front Camber -1.5 / Toe .08

Left Rear: Camber -3.1 / Toe .08
Right Front: Camber -2.6 / .22

AFTER ALIGNMENT:

Left Front: Camber -0.7 / Toe .03
Right Front Camber -1.5 / Toe .01
Left Rear: Camber -2.7 / Toe .13
Right Front: Camber -2.5 / Toe .66

Whats strange to me is how the front right camber is so off and left camber went into spec. Rears im assuming def needs a camber kit? Thanks for opinions

i got mine used for i think around 100. I believe it took it down like an inch up front, and lik 1 to 1.5 in the rear. The rear was really dramatic..almost looks like the tire is in the car.

Looks like your rear toe is a little outta whack as well. You'll need to look into the toe bolt and rear camber kit. It's better to have toe in spec and a little bit of camber than the other way around. Toe off spec will kill your tires, not to mention the car will track funny.

Any pictures of the drop in the front? I'm going to be putting Coupe springs on the front of my X, but went with Sedan Sports in the rear.

What are the stock specs for the front? Are yours within spec?

Looks GREAT! coupe springs lowered it just right. I have a 05X I want to lower her but not to the point where I have to spend more money to get her right!

The X is about 0.5 inch higher to begin with compared to the non-AWD
