alignment numbers look ok?

Good morning everyone, I took my car in to get aligned yesterday after getting Eibach Prokit springs and Whiteline RCA kit installed over the weekend. I'm concerned about my rear camber, will this be ok?

FRONT (left, right)
Camber: -1.0, -1.3
Caster: 4.1, 4.0
Toe: -.03, .04

REAR (left, right)
Camber: -2.1, -1.9
Toe: .20, .10

Let me know what you guys think, if need be I'll take it somewhere else to get realigned.

Thanks

Too much rear toe, too much rear camber.

You might also want more front camber.

it's reversed, you want -2.0 FRONT and -1.5 in the rear (at most for most DD'ers, go towards zero more if you're more conservative, farther away if not)

factory is -1.0 +/- 0.05; not sure on the deviation, but -1.0 is factory target

That's a pretty bad alignment, looks like you got a rush job at some chain shop.

you want 0 toe all around unless you have an auto cross event you're preparing for that needs a toe adjustment.

I would agree with everyone that -1.0 degree on the front is not enough and you will see a nice gain in performance with -2.0 Front and -1.5 Rear. That seems to be the sweet spot for a daily driven Evo X.

Toe is what eats up the tires. In most situations, Camber has less of an effect in wearing the tires compared to bad Toe adjustment.
