why is my alignment so far off on my xi with KW V1's?

had my car really low for awhile, started feeling some vibrations and discovered the rear tires were really worn in the very inside.

so i raised it back up, to just above the tire, the fenders are 25.25" off the ground in the front and about 25" in the rear

got new tires put on yesterday and tried to get it aligned and the guy said it was way too out of wack to adjust because of my coilovers. though i've seen plenty of posts on here saying as long as your not slammed, the car should line up just fine. my specs were

front
camber -1.1 -1.1
caster 8.3 8.3
toe 0.02 0.04

rear
camber -2.0 -2.5
toe 0.12 -0.02

total toe 0.10
thrust angle 0.13

is there any way i installed something wrong when i did the coils?

is my freaking frame bent?

i would take it to someone who knows what they're doing with coilovers and can also do a proper alignment. i know it's a long trip but camber-toe in long island could sort that out for you. g/l finding someone around you who can get the coils dialed in properly

If ur in Richmond try going to RPM they have a really good alignment machine, but if you're close to NOVA go to Ptuning. They actually do some really quality work.
