New "modified" TL alignment spec for rear camber??
Just had my alignment done at Sears. According to the alignment machine's spec sheet, the rear camber spec has been expanded a bit:
from -1.0 (+/- 0.5) to -1.0 (+ 0.7,-0.8)
Where -1.5 had been the negative limit, it is now -1.8.
from -1.0 (+/- 0.5) to -1.0 (+ 0.7,-0.8)
Where -1.5 had been the negative limit, it is now -1.8.

Last time I aligned my car my rear spec was -1.8 as well.
"Modified spec" could be manually typed in by the hunter machine
Tech (or service tech or shop foreman for that matter) when he updated the specs manually instead of by a complete software update that would update all the specs with a download.
We would have our hunter guy come in every year to type in all the updates and changes that manufacturers have.
Your numbers look great and shouldn't cause a pull at all.
I miss working in a shop with an alignment rack...

I just took my TL-S to an alignment shop and the camber negative limit for the rear was -1.8 as well.

Ride is fine, no issues.
True, and it's important to load the back seat/trunk with the same load that you normally drive with when the alignment is done.
As long as the rear camber doesn't exceed -1.8 and toe is kept in spec, there doesn't seem to be much an issue with tire wear on the rear. If camber gets more negative than -1.8/-1.9, look out if toe gets out of spec... rapid inside edge wear is imminent...
