Very high negative camber
I had my is250 awd that is lowered on h&r springs aligned today. The front alignment camber specs were -11 on the left tire and -7 on my right. The mechanic told me that's the best he could do. He put the car on the alignment twice. Is this really bad? All the other specs he adjusted fine.

Yea I don't know how they got these numbers. The rear left is -2 and right is -.7 camber. There's no way to adjust the camber anyway right?

I just spent 90 dollars I really don't wanna pay for another alignment. If I really had -11 camber how bad would the wheel be slanted in?

They must be on crack. If you had -11 you wheel be butter flying like crazy. I haven't seen one member in that negative even with camber kit.

Negative 11 is extreme like this (

Go to 106st tire in queens. Alignment for $60 and they do fine with lowered vehicles

Did he actually get under the car and mess with anything or did he just check the specs?

In my eyes your camber looks very minimal according to the pictures you providing us, you should be no more give or take -3 in the rear, i have ridiculous camber and Im not even sure what I am running, but clearly more than what I see in the picture! The alignment rack is CLEARLY screwed like what everyone else is saying,
