I'd get a second opinion. Slimy tactic, selling those camber bolts, and telling the owners that they couldn't align it without them.

They didn't ask me to buy the camber bolts, it was just written on the paper, I wish they did, i probably would have bought them, lol. Does anyone know if the readout looks ok?

I would be pretty happy with those after numbers myself.assuming stock springs/struts. The front cambers are a bit short of the neg. spec'd but fine if you don't need max corner turn in grip at speed and will be easier on the inside edges of the fronts. If you use a premium tire grip will be fine. Unclear why the LF camber is "green" on the pre but "red" on the post.
