Think about your measured caster angle. A car with a longer/shorter wheel base would have a different tangent from the wheel reflector to the alignment sensor, therefore throwing off your caster angle number. It has to be compared to a known "normal" alignment setting.

Edit: Regardless of it being absolute or relative, the OP needs to have it realigned by someone who knows what they're doing and can select the correct car.

That is fair. At least they got the toe in spec in the front. Rear still looks a little questionable.

Mine was done at Lexus dealer where I purchase my car. Done it when I lowered my car and installed the Figs front lower arm rear mount.

Here's my alignment sheet from last time.

Funny thing, the Hunter alignment software had AWD IS500 in the choices.. At least they had the IS500 in there.



Keep in mind I'm on Swift springs so stock suspension would have a bit less camber.

OP: Rear left toe could be way better and closer to the right side.
