Your toe is fine. -1.5 camber front and rear will be fine.

Thanks, Andrew!

-1.5 front ,and -1.0 rear is good too , right?

Didn't you say its better to have front to be more negative than rear?

Why do you recommend front and both to be same?

So if I set front to be -1.5 , should rear be -1.0 ~ -1.4?
Even camber won't be horrible on the street. I would take even if you are keeping the front down to -1.5. If you were getting up into the -2 and higher in the front then you start to dial less in the rear.

Take Andrew's word for it more then mine. He is the professional. lol

It's better to have more front than rear as a general rule, but less than -1.5 rear is IMO not good if you happen to be limited up front.

by the way, did your advice take account of lowered spring (Eibach Pro-kit) and I'm a daily driver with just occasional sprited driving (no racing, autox)?

Alignment looks OK except they should maximize front camber.

Do not worry about whether you have more camber in back, it is not a big deal, particularly for street. Your rear camber numbers are fine, you don't need to get adjustable arms (which I think are WAY overprescribed BTW...).

All you need is to have them dial in more front camber, as much as you can get with the camber bolts as while maintaining ~2-3mm clearance between suspension and tires/wheels. Keep toe minimized, close to zero. The zero front and 12 arc-minutes total rear (0.2 degrees total) is fine, you could go less rear toe, half what you have now or even down to zero, but where you are now is likely OK...

Thanks.. I'm thinking to -1.5 front , -1.5~-1.3 rear.

Do I need to consider lowering spring for this alignment spec?

Like.. ideal alignment spec can be different if I have lowereing spring?

I have Eibach prokits now

As stated before, you can leave rear camber alone IMO...

IMO "ideal" alignment spec is going to be a fairly broad range as far as camber is concerned. Being lowered will naturally give you a smidge more camber in the front and quite a bit more in back, IMO that's fine...
