If I'm reading this right, one of your back wheels has toe in and the other has toe out?

2 degrees of toe in on each front wheels seems excessive. From what I recall toe in from factory should be between 1/16 - 1/8. You have 2 degrees.

Also, my car with a 1 inch drop, dinan camber plates and m3 control arms can get 2.5 degrees of camber in the front.

But there is truth to 0 toe handling like doo doo on the street. 0 toe + negative camber = wandering wheels and even less stability under hard braking. I ran it for a while and had to go back to get some positive toe dialed back in. It wasn't safe.

It sounds to me like the shop didn't actually align the car twice for your safety but rather half assed 1 alignment.

I got my car aligned at a BMW dealer only because they aligned it for me for $100, but they would get my toe exactly spot on at what i requested.
