Default Suspension mods done, comments on the resulting alignment please

I installed the Hotchkis TVS Stage I suspension kit last week. I just got back from the Nissan Dealer where I had an alignment done. The following are the resulting specs. For those that know where they should be, please comment on the resulting numbers.

Front: Left / Right
Camber -1.1deg / -1.3deg
Cross Camber 0.2deg
Toe 0.01deg / 0.01deg
Total Toe 0.02deg

Rear: Left / Right
Camber -1.8deg / -2.0deg
Cross Camber 0.02deg
Toe 0.03deg / 0.02deg
Total Toe 0.05deg
Thrust Angle 0.01deg

No ballast in driver seat during the process, nor were there any caster readings on the print-out.

Not much to comment on, hence the lack of replies. Looks fine to me.

Pretty much at the max specs for camber front and rear. Only thing I would quiz shop about is to find out if they maxed the rear camber control out, then set the rear toe to what I see. What you set the rear toe to effects the max amount of camber correction that can be dialed in. You may want to consider SPC's camber & toe correction parts to get your rear camber down a bit, unless you want the numbers high for tuning reasons.

Since all is within spec, albeit near max, I will leave it for now. If wear issues become a problem, I will get the parts then.

if you have any understeer issue, your front camber should be more then rear camber inorder to dial out a little understeer.
