I can see this work as well!

It may be within spec but you have more negative camber than spec and that will exacerbate toe wear on the inside shoulder. Ask for zero toe if they can do it though you will have to ride heard on the steering wheel more than you may want.

Coupe and sedan alignments are interchangeable. As long as you minimize toe, camber won't significantly wear your tires.
