Front
L -1.1 Camber R -0.8 (spec -0.4 to 0.6)
L 8.4 Caster R 8.6 (spec 7.5 to 8.5)
L .04 Toe R .02 (spec 0.00 to 0.08)

Back
L -2.8 Camber R -3.0 (spec -1.8 to -0.8)
L 0.00 Toe R 0.00 (spec 0.00 to 0.17)
Same thing happened to me.
The rear camber is excessive for a street car so I would get adjustable rear toe links and get new alignment. Then you can get back to factory specs if you want. Just remember that more camber = more grip so 3 deg in rear will make your car understeer even more if you keep it the way it is.

There a a few different adj links out there. Just depends on your budget and preference.i’ll have To report back on my setup as I don’t remember the brand I used...

Edit: looks like I used the TuneRS ones. Working just fine for m.
