Default AU Live Axle Wheel Alignment Results

Got superlows fitted & camber shim kit & wheel alignment done.

Here's the results, have i got anything to worry about regarding tyre wear? As it feels ok to drive, but i dont want abnormal tyre wear. Mind you i had to take it back to align the steering wheel properly so dont really want to go back again unless it really needs it

Does it pull to the left on cambered roads? the caster split needs to be the other way round.
Mine i had 8* on the front left, 7.5* on right for caster
2mm total toe
-1.2* camber on left and -0.5* camber on right.
But those settings should be fine, if it dosent pull i wouldnt worry.

nah first car that ive driven which drives dead straight on the road, something no right lol

doing some quick reading, http://www.anewtoronto.com/wheel%20alignment.html , apparently Toe is the most responsible for tyre wear, and looks like mine is in the sweet spot, although this quote seems to favour where your 2mm tow is set at

"Most rear-wheel drive vehicles use positive toe to compensate for suspension movement."

maybe im just being picky, but i have no idea how big small changes can affect things. for example the "SAI" is greater than specs, which according to the above link means something is bent as its non adjustable?

Yeah dont worry about SAI Steering Angle Inclined, its set from factory i have wheel aligned a few cars where the SAI is out but no bent suspension or chassis.
Your car wouldnt align in spec or would show if something was bent.
