Question Final Alignment Readings but steering wheel off

I just took my car in for an alignment today because I just put in 1.3" springs and an SPC camber kit front and rear.
But when I'm going in a straight line my steering wheel is slightly of to the left
I think I'm going to take my car back tomorrow and have it rechecked.
Also are the Final numbers ok for my 2001 civic 2dr
Thanks for any help

Front left:
-0.7 camber
0.00 toe

front right:
-0.8 camber
0.10 toe

rear left:
-0.7 camber
0.10 toe

rear right:
-0.8 camber
0.05 toe

Re: Final Alignment Readings but steering wheel off

Part of it would probably be the difference in toe on the front end, part would be them neglecting to center the steering wheel 1st and then adjusting toe.

Which highlights the fact that just because the alignment posted fits with in OEM ranges, does not mean its a "good" alignment.

Thats what I'm thinking I bet they just didn't center the steering wheel that good before starting the work, bunch of slackers

Either way I'm taking it back tomorrow and going to make them fix it.

Thanks for your input
