Alignment question - too much negative camber?

After I installed the D-specs, I got an alignment done and requested a little more negative camber than what the shop would usually do. Specifically, for the front I wanted between -1.0 and -1.4, and for the rear I wanted between -1.4 and -1.8. What he gave me was -1.3/front and -1.6/rear. This seemed fine to me, but the rear wheel looks to me like it has more negative camber than this. Looking at the picture below, can anyone tell me if they think this looks like too much? Also, how do my specs look in general, for spirited road driving and possibly some track runs?

Thanks in advance!

Don't let the shape of the side of the car fool you. It's hard to tell from your picture, but the only real way to tell is to put it on an alignment rack or use string and jack stand method.

As far as your specs go, that's fine. I run closer to -2 degrees all the way around. Just make sure your toe angle is set to 0 all the way around too. That will prevent the inner side of your tires from wearing out.
