Default Alignment issues

Went to NTB and had my alignment done. This was obviously my first mistake.

If someone can lend a hand I'd appreciate it!

Specs before they attempted to align the car (or at least what there machine said).
left front: camber -.4 caster 5.2 toe .16 right front camber 0.0 caster 5.7 toe -.04
left rear: camber -1.0 toe .36 right rear camber -.4 toe .25

Specs after they attempted to align the car (or at least what there machine said).
left front: camber -.3 caster 6.3 toe -.05 right front camber -1.0 caster 5.4 toe -.03
left rear: camber -1.6 toe .21 right rear camber -1.7 toe .29

Dude said there wasn't a way to adjust the front camber? I told him I know the place to go to find out how to do it and I'll be bringing it back to get the car into specs.

Please oh please oh pretty please someone give me some instructions to help this guy out he doesn't have a guide for the s2000 on his alignment machine.

thanks in advance!

NTB has a 6mo, 5000mi alignment warranty. I always go there because I can get 2 or 3 alignments for the price of 1. Take it back there and have them align it to the specs you want. It's free.

Spec is:
Front caster 6deg +/- 15 min
Front camber -.3 deg +/- 10 min.
Rear caster 1.5deg +/- 10 min
Front toe 0+/- 2mm
Rear toe 6 +/- 2 mm

you can find the UK alignment at http://www.s2kca.com/forums/showthread.php...light=alignment

I would go to a dealer or a very reputable body shop, but it's your car.
