Default is my alignment correct?

hi all...had my alignment done today, still doesn't feel quite right. I have not had a chance to go far or fast yet, i've attached the spec sheet from the body shop that did the alignment. I'm not sure how to read the numbers...any help would be appreciated.
they did say the toe in was incorrect and that was causing my inner tire wear...but we all knew that already..lol

because you have the sport what's causing the inner tire wear is the sport springs making negative camber on the rear. I have the same problem and thermo and I are trying to find a solution to this problem right now. To me, seems like I would match up the rear toe just so your car doesn't go sideways, but other than that, seems like they did everything they could to get it close. Alignments on these cars are a real PITA...

your toe front and rear can be better. the front caster needs .5 ahead of the left side (most road have a crown to help the flow of water on the road) and the camber needs to be even from left to right.....a good alignment tech knows the roads for the area and can set it up for the roads your on. not all roads are flat so why align for a flat road.

Thanks to all
Its my front tires that have the inner tire wear.
I think I,ll take it to a jag dealer for an alignment next time I,m in a town that has a dealership.
Is both camber and caster adjustable?..the tech said one of them was not adjustable (don't remember which)
