Default How does my alignment look?

I really dont know much about alignment specs so can you tell me if mine is where it should be? The only thing is im lower a 1/4" on the left side of my car. I didnt mess with the coils out of the box because to me the drop looked even all around. As of right now im not going to raise it up 1/4" to match the right because I just spent $140 on an alignment. The guy told me it wont result in signifigant uneven tire wear. I will probably fix it in the fall or next spring. I only drive the car about 10k a year

Looks ok, rear has some negative camber and toe seems a bit high but you should be ok.

Do you feel any difference in the drive/handling? I just scheduled an appointment with West End for mine.

you will wear out your inner tires, they should have put it into specs with only .25" drop

There's no caster adjustment kit? That's a crap load.
They could have adjusted your toe a lot more couldn't they?
