alignment with wrong car specs?? advice please!

I had my alignment done at big o tire and the used the factory settings for the 350z with 18" wheels

here's the speccs
LF(left front) -> RF -> LR - RR
camber -1.7 -2.5 -1.9 -2.0
caster 7.8 8.0
toe 0.03 0.05 0.04 0.04
SAI 6.1 6.0
included angle 4.5 3.5

don't look good to me.. why do the camber of the front left and right side differ so much. even if they were out of camber they should technically be the same??

Ummm....take it back and make the morons fix it. Then make a mental note to never take your car there again.

Well, what car DO you have? Also, is our front camber even adjustable without aftermarket arms/parts?

happens to alot of people's camber in the front for some reason after lowering. How come you only have 2 toe numbers listed? Should have front and rear toe, and thats more important overall for tire wear than camber

Arrghhh. Get an experienced independent with a fully equipped shop. Someone who sets specializes in imports.

What I don't understand is why is the Left Front camber so different from the Right Front camber.
It's not adjustable I understand... but that doesn't explain why they're different. They should be the same since the left side and right side of the car are of equal height. and have the same rims/tires etc.

the settings for the Z and the coupe are the same, the Z's camber is just a bit more aggressive. Other than that they're the same.
