I don't know much about the alignment numbers so somebody else will be able to chime in about that.

But, it says you have a sedan so POST UP PICS OF THE DROP!

How is the ride with these? How low did you drop it?

take it back, they probably used to the wrong specs to align the wheels. Make sure they use the data for the Coupe

04 coupe? I thought the spec range is different than what is on your paper..

For the coupe, the camber shouldn't be anymore negative than -1.25º
That's factory specs.

Your rears are fine.

Invest in some front camber arms to bring your camber in more. (more positive)
Handling-wise, -1.5º is good but could add a little more to premature tire wear.

Not sure if they could bring it down even more if you take her back in.
The camber on our cars is pretty much set.
Adjustable Control Arms are necessary if you're a victim of excessive negative camber.

i just got basics installed on my coupe too. i just got my alignment done also, i'll try to remember what my results were also. i pretty much dropped it about an inch all around also, but i'll probably adjust it after i put my rims on this coming monday.

Alignment wise it looks fine, are you using rear camber rods?

are you sure the corner heights are even left to right?
