Possible Camber issue after accident. Halp!
I'll start off by saying that my back right rear quarter was damaged along with my wheel in an accident about a 3 months ago. I recently had picked up the car and noticed that after the alignment was done, the back right wheel seems to have more of a negative camber than the back left. I called the shop who did the suspension work (phenomenal shop btw) and they told me the print out read a -2.6 on both sides. It just doesn't make sense. My biggest fear is that there was subframe compression damage and it sunk everything in a little bit but that just doesn't seem like it would have been missed...especially by the two credible shops that looked at/ repaired my car. The car rides fine, is smooth, has a very very very slight vibration (maybe its just the new tires) and most importantly it rides straight. What could this be?

I may be wrong but I though spec for the back was around -1? though I could be wrong, looks a little more than my Z

IMHO -2.6° is way too much camber in the rear. Regardless of what the factory specs say I've personally found -1.5° to -1.7° to be a more appropriate setting.

^^ What he said. You will eat tires at -2.6, but that being said from those pictures both sides look even to me.
