Looks good. I have one suggestion for your next alignment:

Run less everyday camber (~-1.75 to -2°) and then add a degree for auto-x days. 3° is good for auto-x, but a bit much for the street. The added toe (from adding negative camber) will help turn in, also.

Genius. I wish I tought about that before I did the alignment. If I go to my camber plates and back them off from full negative to "0" or the neutral setting, will that create toe in? If so, thats probably worse for tire wear than the current settings, right?

Adding camber (adding +) should add positive toe. Reducing (adding -) should add negative toe.

That is how it worked on my PDE plates in the caster/camber setup.

Yes and yes.

I guess I won't mess with it then. Not until the next alignment.

I always thought you were running the cusco coilovers. Guess the plates threw me off.

Who did the alignment?
