Is my alignment ok?
Just got an alignment. This is with me in the car. I'm not sure about the rear toe he gave me. Also, i'm on stock suspension and this is the most camber he could squeeze out. I wanted -2 up front, but whatever.... I also wanted zero toe all the way around.....
LF:
Camber -1.4
Caster 3.9
Toe -.02
RF:
Camber -1.5
Caster 4.2
Toe .02
LR:
Camber -1.7
Toe .84
RR:
Camber -1.5
Toe -.10
Rear total toe .74
Thrust Angle .47
BTw i'll be autoxing this next sunday

It's not the best, but it's okay... Rear toe is off.
Ideally you want 0 toe in the front and either 0 in the rear or a little to help with turn in.
Your camber is a little weird though... I would've kept the rear camber at -1.25 and front at -1.75 to -2.

The guy said he couldn't squeeze any more camber out of the front or rear. I think i'm gonna get some camber bolts or something

Like other said, rear toe looks off, and you generally want more negative camber in the front than in back. If -1.5 is maxed up front I would do -1.2 or so in the back.

Do not align your car without at least strings. Professional alignments cost less than tires.
As to all the discussion of front camber, you (plural) are making me nervous with things like "maxed out" or "not the limit" or "squeeze a bit more." With the OE upper plate, you have two options. Period. There is no squeezing or maxing, because they are not adjustable bolts. They are remove-flip-and-reinstall bolts. If the tech was turning them in place, then he or she was making a mistake and abusing the car.

As for the string method, i just wrap the rear tires and mesure the length on both sides, right?
