Default alignment specs, hooray for bent lca!!!

ok i posted this in 92-00 civics but everyone in there is a newb that look for classifieds and post their stolen cars so i thought id ask you suspension guys since this is what it involves

wow im kinda ****** pissed right now, over a year ago i took a turn too fast and hit a curb. i ended up hitting it at like prob 30-35 and i thought i got lucky wiht only a bent rim. i got a rim and got it aligned right after and they said everything was fine and nothing was bent. when i got the car back it drove exactly the same so i took it back and it was a LITTLE better. anyways i just got tires on tues and aligned again about an hour ago but this time i didnt go to ****** wheel works, i actually went to a performance shop and boy were my specs out whack.

keep in mind when i smacked the curb i was at stock height, after that i lowered it to almost no finger gap on 14s...dont know if that has anything to do with bending the lca.

i dont have a camber kit or anything so they couldnt fix caster or camber but here it is...these are the final specs

LEFT RIGHT
FRONT
camber..... -1.9 ......-2.7 DEG
caster....... 1.0 ...... -2.9 DEG
toe......... 0.03 .... 0.04 INCH
total toe...... 0.07 INCH
set back........ 0.65 DEG
SAI....... 7.7 .......7.4 DEG
included angle...5.9 .......4.7 DEG


LEFT RIGHT
REAR
camber.......-1.9......-2.2 DEG
toe.......0.05.......0.00 INCH
total toe.......0.05 INCH
thrust angle.......0.05 DEG


during the alignment the dude told me i had a bent lca so now i have to look for one....the new ones are 200!! *** dealerships. yay for junkyards

how hard is the passenger lca to install?
