Can someone check my alignment? Issues...

There's ALWAYS a disagreement over camber settings, the "street heros" always tell you that -1* (or even a little more negative) is what you want, and yes, it will increase cornering force, but at the expense of edge wear. I always run 0* camber. Yes, I might give up a tiny bit of cornering grip, but my tires wear completely even across the tread, and secondly, I'm not racing anybody.

Just an update. Here is the alignment I came out of the same shop with after lowering with the newly installed Koni Yellow Shocks and BMR Springs combined with Adjustable PHB and lower control arms with LCAs.

On a flat road the car drives dead straight. The girl spent over an hour on it and said she did the best she could given the suspension setup.

Driving style also determines a lot with your camber alignment. If you're going to drive the car aggressively, you'll probably have even tire wear with -1* of front camber, like me. But, if I drove the car like a Prius, then I would never push the tires on their edges so they would wear inside.
Zero degrees of front camber, in my opinion, is never a good idea. You WILL roll the tires onto the outside because that's what tires will do. If you don't experience any irregular wear with that camber setting then you're not taking any corners remotely close to a fun speed. haha
