Alignment Results - Okay?

I recently installed some Gemballa lowering springs on my 2000 Boxster S (they were $150 on eBay, new, hehehe). I let the car settle out for a couple weeks and did some light driving. As expected the alignment was all screwed up from the lowering and my messing around with the suspension.

So I got her aligned today. I tried to get it aligned to the ROW specs since that setup is also a bit lower than the US setup. Mine is pretty low though. One shop couldn't even get my car up on the lift! Any way, here's the best they could do on camber, caster, and toe:

Front
Camber -1.0 left, -0.7 right
Caster 7.7 left, 7.5 right
Toe 1/32 left, 0 right

Rear
Camber -2.5 left, -2.4 right
Toe 1/32 left, 1/32 right

The car now tracks straight with the steering wheel straight (didn't before) and everything feels fine. I'm disappointed in the rear camber though. It still seems too negative to me and doesn't look good. I have very little experience with alignments though.

So what do you guys think? Is this a good final alignment setup or did they do a poor job? The work is guaranteed for 30 days...
