Default Got an alignment...need opinions on the settings

I had the front lower control arm bushings changed on both sides and an alignment done and these the settings before and after. The car is lowered on eibach sportline springs with KYB AGX shocks. What do you guys think of these settings?

Before:
Camber
L: -2.1 R: -2.2
Caster
L: 6.5 R: 6.0
Toe
L: 1.22 R: 0.38

After:
Camber
L: 0.0 R: -0.2
Caster
L: 6.2 R: 6.4
Toe
L: 0.02 R: -0.02

The reason I ask is it has a slight pull to the left and a slight vibration. If I had to guess the vibration would be from the toe setting.

your alignment looks fair
camber is ok, but I run a little more + (.02 to .03 )
caster is a little high on both sides, that high will give a very harsh ride and may be hard on the power steering compontants, should not cause pull to left, IF caster causing any pull may be very little to right depending on the crown of the road
, toe being equel May cause a little warnding( I like about 1/32 to 1/16 +) do not think the toe is causing vibration
JUST my .02' Johnny

Ok thanks, I thought that the caster was alittle high and that is probably what I feel was the harsh ride. I just thought since the toe wasn't straight on it might cause a vibration but wasn't sure if it was enough to notice it or feel it.
