Do these specs look ok for a 2" drop? This is AFTER I got an alignment.

Toe:

0.11 Rear Left 0.06 Rear Right

Camber:

-2.3 Rear Left -1.7 Rear Right

HERE ARE THE BEFORE SPECS:

eww that rear toe looks terrible. Thrust angle with those toe settings is way off of 0. You can run slight toe-in or toe-out to suit different handling characteristics, but thrust angle should ALWAYS be as close to 0.00 as they can possibly get it, and right now it looks like your thrust angle is .05 to the right. That's going to make the rear end of the car track slightly off-line compared to the front of the car.

For a grossly over-exaggerated example, think about a hook-n-ladder fire truck with the driver steering the back wheels of the trailer. Think about if the front of the truck is driving straight, and the rear tires on the trailer are turned. That would make the trailer hang out to one side, but still move straight ahead down the road. To a much smaller extent, that's what your rear tires are doing on your car if the thrust angle is not straight ahead at 0.

 

Judging by the camber specs, I'm going to guess that this is a '96-00 Civic.

The front is toed in a hair more than I like to see, but it is acceptable. If I were doing the alignment, I would have tried to get the left rear more in line with the right rear spec (unless it ran out of adjustment), which would take care of the thrust angle.

All in all, it's a lot better than your "before" alignment, but still not perfect. Don't sweat it too much though; I would drive on that alignment.

I 2nd that statement.
