How am i lookin?

Ive let my s-techs settle for about 3 weeks now and my 19's been on for about a week. I just got an alignment to see where i stand and if i need a camber kit. I went to a well respected shop, and he told me that im cool at all 4 corners. I know the fronts arnt within spec, but he said that he turned the toe in more so that the tires will wear more even, is this true? Anyways i just want your guys opinions on how im lookin, just so i can sleep better tonite....

Front Left --- Front Right
-1.4 Camber: -1.6
8.8 Caster: 8.8
.08in Toe .08in

Rear Left --- Rear Right
-1.8 Camber: -2.0
.15in Toe: .14in

the setting looks ok, but I think you can go a little less on the front toe-in.

More toe-in will cause faster inter tread wear. My total toe-in on the front is 0.09
where as yours is 0.16. not bad though. but if you're going for performance,
leave it. it'll give you better straightline stability.

going by the specs on my sheet everything looks right at the limits or a little above. I would sleep better if my fronts where corrected like yours.

chuck- is that in inches "in" or degrees? if inches, you're quite a bit toe-in....

kenchan- the toe is in inches, the camber is degrees.
haze- yes s-techs for the G

I drive my G agressively, but never gets tracked, just 1/4 mile runs every few weeks. You guys think its a good setup for even wear and a good life from my rubber? thats all im really looking for. BTW the tech said that the increased toe in, in the front was for more even wear? im a little confused....

chuck- you got too much toe-in then. watch your inter-tire wear. If you see
excess amounts, go back and get the toe-in reduced.
