What is YOUR Alignment Spec?!
Hey ya'll 
! Recently upgraded my AP1 16" Stock with AP2v1 17" 
. Need help from you guys on finding the correct & preferred alignment spec so that I can take it to the local Firestone and have them make the right adjustments! 
So, for those who are riding on AP2v1 on Stock AP1.. what are your alignment spec? Should I tell the tech to align my car with the AP2 spec?
What you guys think, let me know! Thank you guys in advance and drive safe!
Additional information:
Suspension Set up is complete Stock.
Wheel and tire spec:
Front - 17 x 7" 225/45
Rear - 17 x 8.5" 255/40
Latest visit to Firestone (standard US AP1 alignment spec). The car is pulling slightly to the RIGHT

Look at the cross camber..that's the cause of your issues. You have positive camber on the front right and negative on the front left. Toe could come down some as well for increased tire life. I'm no alignment guru but those are two that stick out.
If I remember correctly my specs were ~6° caster, -1f/-2r camber, 0.2° total toe when I was on my stock setup. No complaints

Wonder why I never asked about the Right Front Camber, not sure why it is off by so many tenth of a degree there .

That alignment is jacked! Obviously they put their rooky intern on your car.
There is a range of camber that works well depending on your driving style. Assuming a street car and if your an aggressive driver, you would benefit from more negative camber so you get more even tire wear.
A typical good all around alignment for the spirited driver would be 0 toe up front. Rear Toe 0.10 to 0.15. Caster 6 to 6.5. Camber front -1 to -1.5. Rear -1 to -2.

I wouldn't pay for that alignment, it's horrible. No excuse for a car that has factory adjustable everything. Looks like they gave you a toe n go. Camber wasn't touched. It only changed cause of how much they adjusted the toe. With that camber setting, it will definitely pull right.
