Those aren't scary numbers but it would be preferred to have more negative camber in back than in front. i.e. if you have -1 deg in front, you want -1.5 in the rear. My guess is that the rear can be adjusted more but the eccentric can't do it all. You can cheat by putting a small prybar between the eccentric bolt head and the slot it runs in and prying it for more adjustment. If there is room between the eccentric head and the slot in the arm, then it can be adjusted more. I have seen this happen many times on 911s. The other possibility is that the rear control arm is bent. If the head of the eccentric bolt is at the far end of the slot and it still doesn't have enough negative camber, then it is likely bent. With the car lowered that much you should be able to get at *least* 1 deg. negative.

This is all assuming of course that the alignment tech had the heads properly mounted and compensated and actually knows what the hell he's doing.
