Hopefully those readings were the 'before'... Theyr'e all over the map, and toe out at the rear will make the car squirelly.
Pfadt''s settings are pretty good, but be aware that the toe specs might still be shown as a minus value. Every alignment machine I've ever seen shows toe out as the negative value.
For sure, you want toe in!

Looks like hell to me!! 
It's amazing what a good/bad alignment can do. My car was scary and unpredictable when I first bought it............. it would bump-steer and tram-track like a sonofabitch. I did a home alignment inititally - night & day difference - and that got me through the first few years I had the car. Then a couple of years ago I had an LG coilover system installed and a subsequent alignment done, and the car still drives perfect AND handles like a champ
. My alignment is setup slightly more aggressive than the Pfadt "Aggressive" street/track setup, and yet I daily drive my car and it doesn't bother me at all. But if you just want a good street alignment, keep the camber toned down and it'll handle great
