Default Weird alignment issues,help please

so i had an alignment done twice after dropping my z,the last time my fronts were -1.5 each and by back was -2.5 and - 2.1.

got a rear camber kit installed today,went and got an alignment. shop is telling me my front left is -1 and right left is -2. and rears are both - 1.5. so im thinking how the hell could my front camber have changed that much? my car didnt get any lower...should i get aligned at a different shop????

You can get the car aligned at one shop, drive to another, and you will get different numbers. It is weird.

I like a machine like the Hawkeye by Hunter. Lots of impressive bells and whistles. My mechanic has 20 years of alignment experience. So I trust the machine and the mechanic.

I am more concerned that left-right numbers are similar rather than just the numbers by themselves.
