are these alignment numbers o.k.?
just got an alignment today b/c I installed new koni's (w/ eibach's prokit), and new wheels this weekend (ssr comps... been trying to post pics all week but the forum wont let me 
). Are these numbers reasonable for a street driven fd with 7x8.5 and 17x9.5 wheels?
I asked the shop to perform the alignment to pettit's specs, but the mechanic said that those specs were out of the machines range and it would take 3 hours and cost $200
.
Left Front:
Camber = -0.4 (deg)
Caster = 6.3 (deg)
Toe = 0.06 (deg)
Right Front:
Camber = -0.4 (deg)
Caster = 7.1 (deg)
Toe = 0.05 (deg)
Left Rear:
Camber = -1.3 (deg)
Toe = 0.15 (deg)
Right Rear:
Camber = -1.8 (deg)
Toe = 0.10 (deg)
-Matt

Go to a real alignment shop. Those numbers are a joke. Seriously, that shop has no clue.
Even in the Bay Area, you can get a very good alignment from a shop familiar with FDs for about $100 (1 to 1-1/2 hours).
What's really scary is the difference between the camber on the rear.
