Alignment Pros, help me decipher
Got my alignment done, apparently I was really off, help me decipher, was trying to get as close to OEM as possible.
Looks like the toe was definitely off.

The "Specifications" column is the range you should be in, and the "Final" is your actual reading.
You've got Front Caster (both L and R) and Rear Camber (both L and R) out of spec.

Am I closer to OEM now? And any other information that can be extracted from the chart, I think some of the other replies above are good.
You are much closer to spec now, you need camber arms and toe bolts to get rid of the negative camber.

^ forgive my newbness, I thought I had those already, I have SPC front and rear camber kit installed?

If you already have the kits, they should be able to get you in spec!!
What machine did they do the alignment on?
Front Caster is out, front camber could be adjusted slightly for both sides, rear camber is way out,
rear toe is in spec but close to maximum value..
You still need some tweeking!!!!
How wide are your tires both back and front?

You need to set your front toe to 0.00 & rear toe to no more than 0.08 to fix the inner tire wear issue.
+1. Toe was the biggest determinant for me with that inner tire wear.
Castor is not likely adjustable. Rear camber can be dialed back to within spec.
Contrary to other comment above rear toe is within spec but to resolve wear should be reduced. Reducing front toe will improve turn in response too.

They should be very familiar with the issue after 7-8 years since the cars have been out.
When I first had the problem my dealer fixed op mgr said it just needed alignments every 6k. He also said it was because it was a "race car". LOL

Why that guy toe'd in the back of the car even more than it came in is beyond me.
If you have SPC camber arms and toe bolts it should be easy to get rid of more camber, ESPECIALLY if it left with that much toe in (removing camber also toe's the rear wheels out). Are the tires really close to rubbing the fenders? That's the only explanation. Front caster and camber are not adjustable.
InTgr8r we usually set rear toe to 0.06-0.08 per side, and it transforms most cars. They actually start to rotate. I think 0.10 total toe in in the rear is the lowest I'd want to go.
