I agree. That LR toe is unacceptable. I am fine w/ going to minimal negative camber on street car. Your car was better before he 'aligned' it. I suppose he was trying to get the rear camber minimized and equal left and right which he did. But sacrificing correct toe specs to do that is not good technique. Maybe he could get the toe correct if he went for .6 or .8 or even 1.0 camber. Did he discuss this w/ you while the car was still on the rack? Did you have the opportunity to make a decision then on installing a toe link? To me, sending your car out like it is pretty much forces you to do a toe link which I don't view as a proper way to do business.

The left rear toe in is so bad it makes me think something is bent.
What the hell is up with ten + degrees of front caster ?
