Alignment
I have recommendations from 'DSC Sport'.
I had mind aligned after new tires and asked to have camber as close to 0deg and possible.

This is the process I went threw.Car is lowered but tire wear and proper alignment settings is the goal.Lowering shouldn't matter.Tire wear does.Road feel matters also.
Settings can vary on how you aggressively drive or don't drive.
After my wheel change to Forgelines and max lowering on stock screws.I am proud of the gentleman that did my alignment some 10k miles ago.
He asked me how often I play and adjusted accordingly.It wasn't the Common settings stated here,but I have been measuring tires often and the stability of this GS not wondering is spot-on.
Here is my previous thread.It is long.It took me a long time to find a real suspension guy.Actually praised him yesterday when I returned with my DD

Camber and Front Caster look good. It would be better if the left front toe was closer to +0.03 like the right front but it can be very hard to get that close. I would also use a little bit less toe in the rear. You want toe-in for stability but not too much because any toe increases wear. If the rear toe was +0.03 on both sides that would be good.
I take it the shop didn't measure the rear caster since I don't see the numbers written on the sheet.
