Default Please analyze my alignment results

This was originally posted in my "Did I get ripped off?" thread, but I don't think anyone saw it.

I just went to get my alignment done by a very reputable shop in Toronto. I'm not good at reading the numbers, so I was wondering if you guys can tell me if they did a good job or not. If I'm correct. The numbers actually look worse in camber, and a bit better in toe. Please help analyze this and let me know if it's good. Thanks!

Its not bad. A little toe in on the front, normal toe on the rear. Surprised they didn't get the fronts a bit more even but its acceptable if the steering wheel is straight when driving straight. 0 thrust angle is excellent.

they could have did a better job of getting the toe on the number...but the IS suspension is really sensitive and any movement and tightening moves the numbers. I watch the alighnment guy do my car and it took forever to get it on the number

i've done many alighnment on the IS when i worked at Lexus.. i would have adjusted it just like that.. all your toe is about center from min and max.. *just extra info.. your spec could be perfect but that does not mean your steering wheel is straight.. a good tech should take only about 15-20 to do alightment (unless you have a car from the mid west, then you have to break the freaken rust!)

i forgot what model, maybe the GS or LS, but you need the Lexus scanner to center the streering wheel . that was kinda weird.. they never taught me that at school.
