They were able to get it to:

Front: -1.2 (L), -1.5 (R)
Rear: -2.4 (L), -2.5 (R)

How good/bad are these numbers? I know they're a few tenths off, but how big of an issue will that difference be? I'm ok with a slightly increased tire wear, but if it's going to be quite a big amount, or if it is bad in some other way, I'd definitely like to know.
The front is okay but the rear is going to be a problem, especially depending on what they set the rear toe to. Once the rear camber is beyond about -2.0 you will start to have reduced traction which is going to negatively affect your handling performance. It will be worth investing in the rear camber/toe kit for both tire wear and performance.
