Default Need advice on my alignment

Thanks for looking at this thread, I just got an alignment done and new tires on my 2005 350z Enthusiast because I upgraded some of the suspension components.

Kinitex Front/Upper Adjustable Control Arms
Kinitex Rear Camber Arm
Kinitex Rear Traction Arm

The car has stock ride height other than that, here's what the alignment ended up being:



I mostly do regular street daily driving with the car but a few times a year I get to bring it to the race track for road course and drag racing.

Does anyone have any advice on what they see in my picture?
Thanks!

Looks like they just aligned so it was in spec ... But not exactly the same on each side...

If you want to handle better then get sway bars (go both ways actually) and coilovers.

i dont get what your trying to get advice on?

As a DD, do you run a lot of canyons and twistly backroads?

There are no canyons around here and only a few twisty roads, but I want it to perform well when I get to the track.

Sorry for not being more clear.
1. I want to know if this is a good alignment setting for this car for both daily driving and the occasional track usage.

2. Should anything be changed to make it handle better while using the stock ride height?

Thank you

Thank you

Camber at -1.8 front, -2.0 rear
Caster at 8.8 or 8.9
Toe at 1/16th out for front, in for rear

Add sway bars, get harder bushings, get better tires, get better shocks. Car will move whatever way you want it to after this

Remember also the higher you go in negative camber, the more your tires will wear.

Thanks for the input. Is this a pretty standard setup (alignment spec wise) or does anyone else have some opinions?
