Anyone experience this after an alignment?

In these pics, driver side was at -2.1 and passenger at -1.9.

Even both set at -2.0, the tires don't seem to sit at the same orientation related to the fender lip and the strut tops are not equal.

Wheels are 18x11 +52 Apex EC7 with 25mm hubcentric slip-on spacers and 305/35/18 NT01's.

Two things:

1) You might want to get a 'second opinion on your alignment and verify the shop's numbers are correct, and that it hasn't slipped. If it looks wrong, it might be. I had my last alignment slip (slotted strut bolts) w/in 30 minutes of leaving the shop. I know this because I took it to another shop a week later who verified that what looked wrong to my eye and limited measuring tools, was indeed way off what it should have been leaving the first shop. I don't think they sent me home with a bad alignment, I actually think it slipped while driving hard on some tight banked grippy corners.

2) Tolerance stacking. These GT's aren't exactly German cars when it comes to manufacturing tolerances. We have a local GT autocrosser who has some significant camber differences from right to left on his car, as it came from the factory. It was just built slightly off square.

Not seeing any pictures.

But if the pictures weren't taken right there on the alignment rack there can be some difference due to the ground not being even (the suspension won't be at the same heights).

For starters, maybe invest in a digital angle finder, and there are various ways of establishing a setup spot that's level at least side to side.
