Your camber is near even for the rear looking at the settings you posted (didnt even read them closely previously.. ). And that amount of negative toe is just fine. It is actually better handling wise to have more camber up front, but from the aspect of "normal" driving and tire wear you look fine.
Caster looks about normal, mine comes in at 3.6
Front toe is fine.
Rear toe looks fine.
So alignment settings actually look fine. Are you sure the springs are installed correctly? And have you actually leveled the car and measured from the ground to the fender to see if it is actually off?

hey thanx for your reply... yeah i did measure on a level surface and im about a 1/2'' higher on the rear passenger side
well i took it to firestone this morning and got that lifetime alignment so everything is normal except left rear camber is -1.7 and my right rear is -1.0 so the tech told me he would give me a call monday afternoon to see if he could find this part (forgot) for me. whatever the part is im sure theyre gonna rape me, so as soon as i find out ill let you know maybe ill be able to get it cheaper somewhere else

The install was not done correctly. The TC has the hardest install to do due to the rear springs. I would take it back to the dealership you got the install done at and tell them to recheck everything they did on the install. They may just have to tighten down one bolt to allign everything.
