Rear Alignment Question

That is the value called out in the Bentley "Without Guesswork" manual.
It's worth buying, as opposed to Streather's coffee table book.
If it makes you feel better, mine are torqued to that value and there were no issues.
I accidentally destroyed the threads on one taking it off with an impact wrench. In hindsight, I should have sprayed some Kroil on it and took it off by hand. I had it repaired so should you need it I will send it to you.

I was able to do the alignment this morning with my friend. All went well, didn't need to undo the sway bar links. I know the alignment was going to be way out of specs because of the coilovers I installed and they were adjusted pretty much at the lowest setting.
Before adjusting anything the front camber was at 2.4 and the toe was. 74 and rear camber was 2.5 and the toe was .65
Being how low the car is with the coilovers I'm surprised we were able to get the settings back to stock. We set the camber with some negative degree on the front and rear that's why they are showing in red.
Not sure why it didn't print the before spec or the front toe specs they were set at 17 on both sides. I may put 500-800 miles a year on the car so I think I'll be ok with these setting.
Thanks again Paul for all your help.
