Default can i get your opinion on my alignment?

i asked for UK or as close to street aggressive as they could get. this was the result:

front in degrees:

caster:L-5.9/R-6.0
camber:-.4/-.6
toe:-.05/-.05/

rear:

camber: -1.6/-1.4
toe: .5/.45

What is the car being used for? You have a dialed in some toe settings (especially in the rear) which, to me, suggest track or autocross use. If this is the case, and were it my car, I would have added more negative camber. Probably about -1.5 front and -2.0 / -2.5 rear with about .20 rear toe, leaving the front where it is. If it is mostly a street car, I would have backed off on the toe to zero front and .10 rear to save the tires and leave the camber about where you have it now. It all looks pretty good, that just seems like a lot of rear toe to me.

If only for the street, I'd say -1.0 front and -1.5/2.0 rear for camber. 0 toe up front, tone it down a bit in the rear. If you don't do any driving to cause extra wear on the outsides (i.e. track or autocross), your tires are going to see a good amount of uneven wear.

my rear camber was -2.2 before the alignment and now i feel like the car is less planted than before. is that possible or is it in my head?

No, it is not in your head. If you liked the feel of the car before crank the rear camber back up and dial out that toe.
