Did you get an alignment yet, if so, what was the caster before/after readings?

When I changed out mines and got an alignment done, the caster went more negative than before.

No alignment was performed. I want to put my stocks wheels back.. And sorry I buy the parts at a special price . I know a tech that works for Lexus and he gets me that price. and the install was like 1 hour long.
