Camber question

Camber question
So I had a tire blow out on a trip and found out that I had some very uneven wear on all of the tires. I had them all replaced and $700 later I'd like to be sure I don't have the same problem with these tires as well. Attached are the post-alignment numbers. Is the camber an issue? If it is, i was thinking about having a body shop adjust it as I don't expect to be tinkering with it in the future.

All of your measurements are within spec, but it doesn't look like they did a very good job getting the toe equal from side to side. The camber looks fine. The front camber is at the limit of the spec, and the rear camber is lower than expected, though nothing is wrong with that measurement. What springs are you on?
My last alignment, 350Z revised springs and stock 18" 6mt wheels with stock tire size:
-0.7° f camber -1.2° (camber not adj w/ stock susp)
.04° f toe .04°
-0.8° r camber -0.8°
0.11° r toe 0.10°
Note: According to a 350Z bulletin, it may be best to set the front toe to .08° to prevent cupping the inside of the tire. 5k miles ago I installed the 350Z springs, moved the rear tires to the front, and had it aligned to the specs above; I just had the front tires swapped side to side due to cupping (they have 15k miles total).

On stock springs...however, after seeing how my car looked lowered a bit after having 500lbs of stuff in it I might consider lowering it a bit.
