Alignment specs
Well, just got a front end alignment with my complete GSR suspension on (springs, shocks, the works, all GSR). Got a temp alignment so she's drivable until I pick up some appropriate springs.
Anyway, my camber is out 1°... but only on one side. :eh: I'll just drop the whole sheet here and hopefully you folks can edumacate me on what it all means.

Left Front Actual | Before |Specified Range| 1.0° 1.0° -1.0° 1.0° Camber 1.4° 1.4° 0.2° 2.2° Caster 0.00° -0.21° -0.12° 0.12° Toe Right Front Actual | Before |Specified Range| 0.1° 0.0° -1.0° 1.0° Camber 1.1° 1.1° 0.2° 2.2° Caster 0.00° -0.25° -0.12° 0.12° Toe Front Actual | Before |Specified Range| 0.9° 1.0° ...... ......

Toe looks good, what about the rear?

h:I was just concerned about the 1 degree difference being a sign of potential bent suspension bits.
Code:
Left Rear Actual | Before |Specified Range| -0.4° -0.3° -1.3° 0.7° Camber 0.14° 0.24° 0.04° 0.16° Toe Right Rear Actual | Before |Specified Range| -0.6° -0.6° -1.3° 0.7° Camber 0.14° 0.13° 0.04° 0.16° Toe Rear Actual | Before |Specified Range| 0.28° 0.37° 0.08° 0.32° Total Toe 0.00° 0.05° ..... ..... Thrust Angle

It's not a significant difference but you might feel the car pull to the right since that tire is flatter on the ground.

Looking pretty decent for a preliminary alignment.
Like others mentioned, you may want to get a little more negative camber going on.
And also, depending on what you use the car for (track, etc) you may want to consider getting those toe numbers up a little bit.
