Anyone with a stock setup would kill for -2.4* of front camber. If that's the minimum they can get, and unless you plan on tracking it, I'd leave the front camber where it is - although I would even out the camber at -2.6* on each side.

With that much front camber, you'll probably want to run closer to -1.5* camber in the rear.

The only thing I'd be really concerned with in your alignment sheet is the rear toe. You really want to get that as close to 0 as possible. Toe-in or toe-out will kill (read: wear) tires a lot faster than camber will.

You should NEVER use the factory specs (which most shops screw up and use Lancer specs).

-2 f, -1.5 to -1 is good to go. Zero the toe out.
