    Literally the only change on that sheet is that your total toe decreased by .01* Your camber is too high. Likely need UCA's to get it dialed in right but try aligning without first due to their high cost.

    OP, what do you mean "bowed"? Cupped, feathered, heel toe, or just dorky looking with top is the tires sticking out more vertically?

    Never mind, just saw pic. You have street car camber. Opposite of what I said. You got robbed... barely made any adjustment to the toe values.
