Being within factory spec isn't necessarily ideal, and it's a big range. Mine was done exact down to the tenth of a degree on all settings.

Not saying this guy isn't good, just trying to gauge how accurate he is.

Nothing but my toe and caster are within factory spec now either

There's a guy at Clarington Hyundai that's a racer and apparently does a really good job as well.

As for it pulling, is it constant or just sometimes? Mine pulls like crazy over uneven pavement as the tires catch grip, worse when it's wet. It's always done that since adding more camber, feels just like tram lining.

KSL is as accurate as you want him to be. He does regular alignments for all the mechanics in the automalls around that area, so he'll quickly whip you into spec. He's not a race car specialist, its volumn work.

If you know what you want though, just tell him and he gets it bang on (if your setup allows). He's not going to know all the tricks for your ride, or what the "right" race setup is for you, but he is fully comfortable working on modded suspension.

Wasn't the nicest guy on my first visit but I found he's good at what he does and got nicer once you crack the ice with him. Cheap too
