Alignment Complete by Auto Couture. How does this look?

So I finally got my alignment done by auto couture motoring after lowering the vehicle and putting 19 inch wheels on the car.

He said this is the max came right and get out of the front, I plan on getting SP perches soon.

I provided a picture below, how does this alignment look at -1°Is it bad for the front tires? Will I experience any tire wear with this alignment set up?

Also if I want to go ahead and use ASPI perches will I need to get 335 I strut tops, the SP perches themselves and the rubber part that goes between perches and sprints?

If I get the SP perches I'm sure that the front is going to drop about a quarter to half an inch, and my camber might go more negative at that point right? The reason I ask is I might get Turner motorsports camber plates.

Here's the factory plates I found for the 335i

Thanks!

1 deg of camber is almost nothing, with your slight toe I wouldn't worry at all about wear

Ok awesome! How about the perch setup. Do I have the right idea and direction?

Also I forgot to mention they didn't put any weight in the car when they aligned, will this be a problem when I have weight in the car?

Any chance you want to share how much they charged you? I'm shopping around for an alignment in the spring when I get new wheels

I wouldn't change anything without realigning

weight isn't going to be a noticeable issue, this isn't a nervous track car with toe out or anything

The paper says 18" wheels, the tech said that it came with a max size of 18's from the factory. I have 19's. Could that throw the camber readings off?

Also what is the best route to getting camber adjustment? Also I am wondering if i go with perches and they lower my car .5 inch more, how much more camber will it go negative?
