You definitely do not want positive camber ever

Judging by the question about negative camber, I assume these camber figures above are negative and not positive, right?

Ouch... that's so far off even from OEM alignment specs. I kind of find it hard to believe any tech would do that. Do you have any camber adjustment in the front? It should be close to 0 in stock form.

Whiteline front camber bolts. Nothing in the rear.

Front should be negative camber....camber bolts should help with this. Re install and Re align. Get the toe as close to zero in the front. No rear toe adjustment with a stock car

Yeah, do yourself a favor and get them to fix it to ~-1 to -1.5 camber in the front to make use of your camber bolts. Rear you can't do anything about without aftermarket camber adjustment.

Toe is definitely adjustable both front and rear with 100% stock parts. People buy aftermarket toe arms if they're drastically altering camber with a LCA because the stock adjuster doesn't have enough range if you've drastically changed the length of the LCA.

My steering wheel is a little off....can I just go to any place to get an alignment?

I don't need all this hardcore stuff for tracking etc since I just drive like a grampa in the Toronto traffic >_<
