Default Rear right toe even worse after allignment?

Hey guys, so I recently (week ago) installed s-tech springs and today went to get alignment done at Firestone, below is the printout and it looks like while rear toe adjustments are in spec now the Right Rear Camber became worse (from -3.6 to 4.2).

Looks like I will need to get camber kit to correct this, but has anyone ever had the camber become worse after alignment visit (does it signal a poor tech or could it become worse as he pulled the toe setting in spec)

Thanks for your input

get the spc toe bolts and the rear camber lockout washer... the lockout makes them use the after market arm to adjust camber

Thank you for info, some noob questions

1. So I should get bolts only? I was thinking I need the camber arm as well?
2. The tech said he couldnt adjust the eccentric bolt on the rear, its not long enough, thats why you suggested the bolt?

Thank you very much .

Sounds good will do, as far as running -4.2 (0.5 off the spec) and -2.6 (2.1 off spec) will that cause SEVERE premature tire wear or as long as toe is within spec its ok to leave it like that ?
