I brought my car back to the dealer and they found the front right tire out of the alignment spec so they corrected it and the wheel is straight now. They pretty much did minor adjustments to everything to bring it more inline with the specs. I asked them to take some of the negative camber out of the rear so they dropped it down to -1.6 from the -2.2 and -1.7 it was at. I thought about bringing it to zero but decided to split the range and stay on the lower end of the scale. Anyway, glad I had it checked.

What's your toe though? That's a lot of adjustment in camber and on these cars messing with one really messes with the other. You gotta have huge adjustment in both to really get what you need.

Same here.. I'm scared of changing things for this reason.. Feel like it won't come out perfect and I will just get frustrated. :(

that's about as positive as you can get with stock components (-1.6,7)

yep;i've been doing my own....when you go max positive camber-it also gives you more +toe,,,but you gotta have some +toe in the rear or the azzend of the car will be dancing all over the place;especially hard acceleration & high speeds.(dangerous to have no toe in rear)
i think it's like 0.09*-0.21* (total 0.18*-0.24*)
