Alignment help

Well I am stoked, got the 986 back in action after complete front suspension refresh including all control arms, struts and strut top mounts, inner/outer tie rods, sway bar bushings, and alignment.

Was about to give up on using my lifetime alignment at firestone, but requested appt. with their best tech (allegedly) and gave him my specs and told him if he could get it close and match each side he would get a nice tip [emoji16]. Rear camber was a little more than I wanted but was not enough adjustment left to get to the -1.5 I was shooting for he claimed.
But the car has never driven so well, steering is tight now, and would think you were driving a brand new car.

But a buddy with a boxster said while its on the rack you cant get the negative camber right on the rear, weight has to be off then reduce camber and then put on the rack and adjust from there. Initial test drive was great, but was he right on the rear camber, and would this amount contribute to too much tire wear if left as is?
