THanks.
The numbers before in my case don't mean a whole lot. My front camber was not adjusted at all really, there is almost no adjustment. The rear got completely out of wack when I installed the camber arms. Most of the adjustments they made were to the toe settings, and adjusting the camber arms in the rear.

As far as how good the alignment is, it depends on what your definition of the best is. My toe is in factory spec all around, and I think a toe number close to 0 is really the best thing for tire wear. Mine are between 0.03 and 0.09 degrees (really close to 0). For camber, my rear is at -1.35 degrees. I think that is a little more negative camber than factory spec, but I wanted a slightly aggressive alignment, but did not want to have too much tire wear (this is not aggressive by any means, but a good compromise in handling performance and tire wear). Something around -1 degree would wear a lot less, but gives up some performance. As I mentioned, the front cannot be adjusted. SPC is just now coming out with the first set of adjustable arms for the front, so the front could be a little lower. Mine is at -1.5 and -1.8 now, and I would like to get it down to -1 to -1.2. The factory spec in the front is under -1 degree. I am not sure if I care enough to install the adjustable front arms. I am going to wait and see how the tire wear is.
