Opinions on my alignment specs please
Hey guys, got this about 2 weeks ago and finally got it scanned. This was done the day i got my Tanabe Sustec coilovers put on about 2 weeks. I still had the 17x7 silver stars on, not sure if the 18x8 +45 enkei's make a big difference or not, please let me know if they do. Now i do get a littel bit of rubbing in the back when hitting bigger dips in the road when im doing a decent speed. The place i get my cars aligned is only about 80 bucks, so im very willing to get it done again if i can get some advice on where to tweak the actual specs. The guy said he could dial in whatever i wanted but im very green when it comes to actually knowing what i need to adjust to make my ride perfect. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
-Dont know the exact drop amount but its close to 1.75-2" and about 1-1.5 finger gap
-most importantly, the alignment specs from craven tire in South Arlington/Alexandria

i did the alignment today. i have Work Emotion XD-9 in gunmetal 18X8 +45.
i dropped about 1.75 inches all around with tein. i had a rubbing issue when i did alignment on the rear due to too aggressive drop. so i could not set the rear within the spec. the rears are both 1.8 degree negative. it should be within 1.5 degree. but the tire wear is minimal since it is only .3 difference. i think you should align again and find the idle height of the suspension.

Edit: could i adjust the camber past -1 to solve my slight rubbing issues in the rear, thats kind of what im looking for, also, the alignment was done on 17x7 and i have 18x8 now. BUt the aspect ratio is only -.2% difference over stock. Any ideas on what i could do to tweak the toe or camber to help the rubbing and not have to adjust my drop?
