Alignment Help

[asgi99]

I just had the alignment done. Does this seem right? A couple of the measurements are out (asterixed). Should I take it back to have them do some more work? The shop does a lot of work on Porsche (it is Firestone in San Francisco). There is a front shock tower brace which is contributing to the front camber but I can get them to reset this.

Questions
Is the car OK for road and maybe some track?
What will be its handling characteristics?
Will the tires wear superfast.

Lot of questions I know. Any help appreciated.

Manufacturers Range

Front Camber -0.2 to 0.2

Rear Camber -1.2 to -.08

Front Left Camber -0.5*
Front Left Toe 0.16

Front Right Camber -0.3*
Front Right Toe 0.11

Rear Left Camber -0.9
Rear Left Tow 0.31


Rear Right Camber -0.6*
Rear Right Tow 0.18

With that miniscule amount of negative camber, your tires would last a long time! Why are your toe #'s so far apart in the rear?

Did you have them align it with weight in the driver's seat?

I was not in the car when they aligned. Would that make a big difference?

Did they even align the thing i.e. do you have the "before" figures? Maybe they just "checked" your alignment and accidently charged you for an alignment. I'd expect the numbers to be closer left to right.
