looks fine to me

This is a normal spec sheet from NTB or something like that.

Look for asterisks in the "after" column if you're looking for problems. There shouldn't be any. If there are asterisks, the "after" is out of the range as listed to the right of the readings.

Number's aren't that far off. Looks like they pulled the right toe back in a bit. Car should track more straight now. I only worry bout the camber and toe specs. Don't think those other numbers matter. Anybody else?

After lowering, you should wait a week or 2 for the springs to settle, then get an alignment. If you go to the dealer, I'm sure they're going to say something stupid but they probably will do it without much hastle. There are plenty of other places that do alignments as well.

The only thing that is factory adjustable in terms of alignment on 4th gens is front toe. From your picture, it looks like they adjusted that to spec. So, everything looks to be okay.

You usually wont get an a perfect one anyway. But if it is fairly close you will be all set.
