Default Alignment settings

Went to get an alignment today in preparation for an upcoming track day.
Results when completed were:

Front:
L: R:
caster: +0.72 +0.04
camber: +0.72 -2.08
toe: +0.01 +0.01
total toe: +0.02
Rear:
L: R:
camber: +0.16 -0.48
toe: +0.08 +0.08
total toe: +0.16
thrust angle: 0.00

Question is should I be worried about the positive camber on the left side?
Vehicle is a 95 Civic HB; lowered about 2.5"

I'm not too sure about those settings. I would definately try and get the camber at least close, and get the rear toe resituated to be closer to 0.

the + camber will suck on track. u want at least -1.25 degrees of camber up front. i think closer to 2 is probably better. it also looks like something is bent.

Checked for bent components and the UCA & LCA look fine, but the knuckle seems possibly bent.

Thanks for your help and advice.
