Front
3 degrees camber
1/16" total toe out (not sure what that is in degrees)

Rear
1.8 degrees camber
0 toe

Wow, that's a lot of camber. Is that a daily driven car as well?

high cornering loads pluss tires that like camber = Need for greater than normal camber to maintain proper tire to road contact patch

I wouldn't run 3 with street tires on the street although if aligned well, minimal camber wear could be sene.. . 2 is nice
