It's been awhile since I've had a lowered car, but just looking at what your have here, you're still a bit out of spec for the front wheels (camber) - more so on the right than the left but still a lot better than it was before... are you using a camber kit? You may get a bit of premature inside wear on the front tires as a result.... Again, it's been years since i've had a lowered car so you'll want other opinions as well.

with the TEIN CS the car lowered about 2 inches.. i'm at 1.5-2 finger gap at the moment.. the camber is not really noticeable so it won't wear as fast - plus i drive pretty conservatively.. yes i have pics of my car - check out my gallery i have 3 pics where the car is lowered. (close up front / close up rear / full car view)

sup david, seems like ur front right is cambering a bit much... you'll get some pretty fast tire wear with that rating.
just got my car alignment earlier this week, spec as follows:
(all actual no need for specified since david has already posted it)
camber:
front right: -.5
front left: -.6
rear right: -1.1
rear left: -.05
toe:
front right .03
front left: .09
rear right: .03
rear left: .09
dont forget! over time ur tires wear out which will cause more cambering!!

I've seen(heard) worse 
I was driving down the highway one night and there was a tahoe with 20 or 22 on it. It looked silly because that suv needs bigger rims that that in the first place. Anyways I was scared to drive next to or behind this guy. His tires were toed in so bad and the camber was horribly out of spec. I could hear his tire noise with my windows ROLLED UP! Honestly I thought his axle was going to snap off any moment or the tires would blow out due to all that heat.
Honestly his wheels looked like this:
/....\
\..../
Well, anyways back on subject. I was watching the guy do my alignemnt on my car while it was at the shop. I was talking to him about it and all. Anyways, he was doing the back and it was all fine but when he moved to the front he said there was no camber adjustments at all. There was only toe adjustment up front. I knew people said our cars had no camber adjustments, so I thought none of the wheels had it. Now I find out that only the rears have it, thoght that was weird why lexus would put a camber adjustment in the back and not the front. I guess we will have to wait for Daizen or whoever to come out with the long awaited camber kit!
