You don't really have any leverage over the shop, since:
a) you hit a curb
b) they technically got it within spec.

I'd probably go to a different shop next time though.

It was a low speed incident and I didn't hit it sideways, I more or less crawled onto the curb at an angle. But any curbing is not ideal.

Judging by the alignment specs you are trying to achieve you will have to get front and rear Camber arms before you get another alignment.

Then why is stock fronts -.58? I'd love to have those specs up front. Stock rear would be nice too, -1.58.

You shouldn't have more than a .5 (half of a degree)difference in camber between left and right.

I can't explain why you have these difference,you just shouldn't

I installed spc front and rear camber arms and got my alignment to(I did my own)

front left -1.3 right -1.5
rear left -1.8 right -1.8

I did my own alignment and added .2 + camber to the right front to compensate for road crown,my point is you can put your alignment any where you want with these arms just cause it came from the factory doesn't mean it's right it just means it is in spec.
