Need alignment spec help!!!!!

Just had my alignment done at my local Mavis...I have an SPC rear camber kit and am dropped on eibachs. Stock wheels and tires.

Specs..

Left Front - Toe .03 Camber -1.4

Right Front - Toe .04 Camber -1.8

Left Rear - Toe .13 Camber -3.2

Right Rear - Toe .10 Camber -2.7


The guy told me that the if i was out of alignment when the spc kit was installed that it would still only save me a certain amount of degrees anyway..

Can someone help? Or are these numbers ok to drive without damaging anything?

Take it to another place, sounds like the tech doesn't know how to adjust it to within spec. Too much camber.

tell him that the camber arms have been replaced with a camber kit that is adjustable and is supposed to get the camber back withing spec. He probably has never dealt with adjustable arms, or aftermarket kits.

Wow...Way the hell off. I had to sit in the alignment bay and show the tech how to do the adjustments...You may want to consider doing the same. You'd think they'd know how to adjust alignment if they do it for a profession.
