Default left caster > right caster

I just got an alignment done this morning. I asked for a print-out of the alignment settings and noticed that there's a 0.6 degree difference between my right and left caster. Here's the specs (all in degrees):

Front: (L / R)

Caster: 1.8 / 1.2
Camber: -0.6 / -1.0
Toe: -0.05 / -0.05

Rear: (L / R)

Camber: -2.2 / -2.2
Toe: 0.00 / 0.00


Should there be that much difference between the two caster settings? From reading this: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...n.jsp it sounds like it could be cross-caster to adjust for the crown in the road... but then shouldn't the right caster be higher than the left? I'm just worried that maybe something's bent in the suspension.

Do any of the alignment experts out there think this is normal?

Oh yeah, this is on a '99 Civic Si/Ex (Si in Canada, Ex in the US) with Eibach Pro-kits on Koni Yellows.
