Alignment Question

I got a alignment today and I had eibachs installed about 3 weeks ago.

Alignment Result:

Front Left: (Driver)
camber: -1.6
toe: .04

Front right: (Passenger)
camber: -1.6
toe: .04

Left Rear: (Dirver)
Camber: -1.7
Toe: .09

Right Rear: (Passenger)
Camber: -1.8
Toe: .12

The guy could only get the driver front camber to match the passenger and couldn't adjust any of other ones. I'm going back tomorrow for one of their master mechanics to do it. How can I get it close enough to stock with slight running negative camber? I know I might need a camber kit but want to try to see if i can get back to stock spec or close. Please tell me what to tell them to adjust or what you guys with springs had to do in order to get back to or close to stock specs.

I went to NTB. They said if they can't do it they'll give my money back. One year alignment program cost $120 with taxes.

THANK YOU and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

You may want to ask him how he aligned the front wheel camber adjustment when according to Nissan, it's not adjustable. Smells like BS to me. Front camber being at -1.6 is what it is unless you want to mess with the front camber kit. More importantly, .04 toe is perfect. That's more important IMO so I wouldn't mess with it.

Rear camber is supposed to be between -.5 and -1.5 and toe should be between 0 and .23 degrees. Looks like you are pretty close to me. If you want any more adjustment than he can currently make, you'll need a rear camber/toe kit.

Alignment specs are in the FSM pages FSU-25, RSU-28, and FWD-4. Please download it and refer to it. It will save us both time because you wont have to make a noob post and I wont feel compelled to answer it.
