Do these alignment specs look okay?

Hey guys, I just had an alignment done to stock specs on my 07 E92 328i. I've been running Eibach Pro-kit suspension for a little over a year which gives about a 1" drop. The alignment was done at a very reputable local indy shop by the owner who also happens to be a race instructor, so he was very knowledgeable and came highly recommended. That said, here are my alignment results. He said my left rear toe was off by a lot and that he couldn't be adjust it any further than shown, and that he adjusted the right rear to match. He said these numbers are nothing to worry about in terms of tire wear or anything for a DD car. I never track my car, so just wondering if these look good.

Your left front camber is -0.36* while the right is -0.97* ... strange that there's so much difference; I keep mine even right and left. However they aren't detrimental to anything. Everything else looks OK. Toe looks fine. Overall looks like a pretty good job.

Thanks. I've honestly never really read into alignment results too much before. The guy that did it was very passionate and was going through everything very thoroughly with me and my head was kind of spinning near the end. I got home, looked at the sheet and was like "so wait, was he pretty much saying everything looked good?" lol

I agree, you have a lot of rear camber, little in the front. Your toe looks fine though. 0.1deg OUT in the front, 0.2 IN in the rear is about the max I recommend without causing excessive wear on the street.
