Tuner Max, it is in spec doug LOL

Caster cannot be adjusted
Toe is fine, 0.00 would be perfect, but one pot hole could potential change that
Camber at -1.5 is fine too, probably won't notice any premature tire wear

If the car is driving straight without any drifting or pulling I wouldn't go back.

In spec and "ok" are two different things. I'm just saying, if it was my money, my tires, etc, I'd be taking it back.

If I want it set up so it 'feels ok' and drives fine, then I'd do it myself in the driveway, I wouldn't pay someone to do it 'properly'.

Clearly, the shop didn't do a professional job.

I agree with you though, the numbers aren't way out by any stretch of the imagination, and he'll be fine to just run it like that without real notable adverse effects. But is it in spec? Is 'it'll be fine' the answer you want when you lay your hard earned dollars down?

It's only my opinion, OP, you'll be fine with either decision. I'm just picky, and if they'll re-do it for free as you say, then I think it'd be silly NOT to take it back.

This car has a lot closer to oem alignment that most of us are running.lol Why would we need to go back when the only thing wrong was his front camber which is now reasonable. Your rear toe is fine too. I have the same amount with -2.1 camber and no feathering.

Yea my front was terrible. It was chewing up tires like no tomorrow. That was before camber kit was installed though. I put the camber arms and went for alignment
