I’m kind of curious about the toe out. -.03 seems like almost nothing. Not enough o make a difference. Or is it?
Agreed, iMHO (and I dont drive in a straight line), 0.05 toe out was pretty subtle compared to zero, I could feel only a very slight difference. but you dont want toe out of dartinesss is your concern.

I mean, what did you ask them for? Looks like you took the car to them and they aligned it to factory specifications because you didn't ask them to do anything differently. It probably drives fine that way and tire wear will be acceptable.

If you have specific needs or wants adjustments could be made, but there are usually trade-offs with such adjustments.

I like around -2 front camber, I also like a bit of toe in on a street car because it runs down the freeway better. I like .05 in per side total of .1. I hold the shop to make this accurate. I have a good shop that if I tell them a number, that is what I get. They care and take the time.

You are in AZ, unless you are in the mountains I'd run toe in. Lots of straight roads in the desert.

I just wanted my rear camber back into spec. I figured they’d zero toe or toe in.

the toe was off so much before my alignment bc of the suspension change haha.

I do drive mostly highway yeah… I just don’t want to have to wait/or pay again. It’s hard to find competent shops to do alignments on these cars where I live.

Yea that's a common scenario. I remember my car experienced massive oversteer at like 15mph around a corner at a stoplight on my way to get it aligned after lowering it. Suspension height changes have shocking effects on alignment on these cars.
