Default Tire alignment question

Hey guys, I would like to know what yall think about my alignment numbers; anything I can improve or not get next time for my alignment etc,. The reason I got this alignment was because I'm newly lowered about an inch and a half. I am an auto-zero however I've always been in the stock class. I've yet to run in the modded class because I've been busy with.....life lol. I'm running ap2v1 with 225 front tire and 255 rear tire with 17mm spacers on all four. Anyhow here are my digits
Front left:
Camber is -0.6
Caster is 6.8
Toe is 0.02
Sai is 9.4
Included angle is 8.8

Front right:
-0.5
7.2
-0.01
9.7
9.2

Front:
Cross camber is -0.1
Cross caster is -0.5
Cross Sai is -0.3
Total toe is 0.01

Rear left:
Camber is -2.0
Toe is 0.17
Rear right:
Camber is -1.9
Toe is 0.27
Rear:
Cross Canberra is -0.1
Total toe is 0.44
Thrust angle is -0.05
Axle offset 0.0in

Thanks for help

Camber looks low for competitive events. I'd go -1.5 to -2deg front, -2.5 rear for a good street/autoX compromise.

Toe is in degrees, right? Rear toe is a bit high (and asymmetrical). I'd go for 0.2 degrees total rear toe. 0.44 degrees is imo borderline excessive, no benefit and many downsides (tire wear, handling nonlinearity, twitchiness, worse turn-in, etc.)

Quick update, my new rear tires will be here tomorrow(same size, make and model tire) , I've noticed I have a good bit of camber wear, what setting would you suggest for camber? I can post pics if you need them.
