Default help with alignment numbers after swift spec r install...

so I installed some hotckiss sway bars and put the swift spec r springs on and 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear with the 19" rays wheels. went to get it aligned and I wasn't expecting my numbers to be this far off... I found through searching that most* peps with a lowered car are running around -.5 front and -1.5 rear. I'm not sure what numbers I want to be shooting for so if anyone has any ideas, let me know. fronts are on top in the pic. rears towards the bottom. I will be putting a GTM 1.5 SC on it VERY soon....

why would the left rear wheel go only from -2.81 to -2.74? while the right rear went almost 5 times that.. -2.96 to -2.47. the alignment guy said that the adjustment was maxed out...

i'm guessing i'll have to buy some arms to get the rears where they need to be.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Whoever did your alignment is a retard. Firestone does a better job for me.
And yeahhhhh, camper arms for sure

If you want a properly handling car you won't be in spec. Don't look at the specified range. Search what others have done for street or if you want track. Of you get right and left equal and flip the rear to front and front to rear, I'd drive that!
