Just want to get some feedback and thoughts on my alignment done last night:
I don't know much about alignment, but the 1 degree of difference in the rear camber doesn't seem right.
What do you guys think about these settings? It's mainly for daily driving and occasional auto-x. Will these settings chew through my tires?

Also, I couldn't ask much about it at the shop because they were about closing for the alignment section

Perhaps we should have an "Alignment Thread" similar to the Fitment Thread.

Yes we do

That sounds like a good idea... it would be nice for someone to shed light on this subject. I just know the basics as in what each setting does.

Here's a few good articles:

More of DIY, but good for understanding more details: http://www.quadesl.com/miata_alignment.html

Did they do the alignment with you or a mass of your weight in the car? The settings should be symmetric with the driver or driver and passenger (if that's how you drive) in the car.

Basically, no. Those a values don't look correct.

The alignment doesn't seem very accurate. You will gain some camber on the drivers side when sitting in the car so higher quality shops will have you sit in the car, but the front drivers side has more camber than the front pass side.

Even so there seems to be quite a bit more camber in the rear than front, which I would suggest against. This alignment seems very inaccurate.
