Again, some will say this is minor, but I prefer not to waste money on tires if I can help it!! Keep in mind that I have 305's on the back too and I moved my rear camber to -1.2, to get better contact with the road. That meant I needed to move the toe more to get it into line as well....

The front camber is a little off but you would need front camber arms to adjust that. I would wait till there are more choices on the market than just the SPC front camber arms....
Then why is the manufacture spec only recommend the lowest of 4 degrees? In this case it looks like he made my toe even worse than it was before, since he increased both the front and rear further from 0 than it was.

that's normal. if they try to get your camber in spec, your toe will get out, if they try to fix the toe, then camber will get worse. <-- this only applies to OEM suspension components.
