Went to get alignment today. Shop didn't want to touch it. Here's the specs. How bad off am I and what action should I take?

Those rear tires are going to get scrubbed off pretty quick.

More than likely you're rear toe eccentrics are seized and that's why they don't want to deal with it.

Camber looks like what you'd expect on a lowered 2g. I personally would get a rear camber kit (some longer bolts and washers) and try to get the rear closer to -1.5 to -2

+1 on this. I'd suggest just swapping out to a tubular, adjustable rear toe arm setup. Something like this from Volk Metal Craft (aka @99gst_racer here on the forums):

I just installed an Ingalls rear camber kit on my car, and immediately removed it and installed an STM kit (longer bolts and washers you place behind the existing UCA mounts). The Ingalls style kit was a nightmare to try and get into place and if the eccentric bolts aren't lined up perfectly on both mounts per side you get all sorts of clunking over bumps. The STM kit may take a couple tries to figure out exactly how many washers your particular setup needs, but it's a cakewalk compared to the Ingalls.

I did the washers and longer bolts on my other GSX years ago- works great

front is a different story though

if nothing else, rotate your tires often to spread out the wear from the scrubbing so you can get some use out of all 4 before belts start showing
 
Apart from the excessive camber the front toe should be easy to adjust if its not seized,

If the rear is then thats a big issue, as its a fun job cutting the bolt out of that frame,

other then that the cambers not that bad, the rear camber is a little high,
 
I've got 4 washers on pass side and 8 on drivers rear. They didn't try the rear eccentric. They said they are not a wheel off alignment shop so they wouldn't touch it.
 
That shop service manager is an idiot. I have fixed worst jobs. Where did you take the car to? PepBoys?Costco? In order to fix the car you need to spend money. Period. If you dont want to do that then forget about it. By correcting rear camber you will correct most of the toe. If your cams are frozen then geuss what? You need to loosen them up or replace parts. Normally by me people expect alignment to fix their cars when they wrap it around the tree. Not going to happen. When we recomend adjustable arms people get twisted out of shape because their asses squick when they work. So are you prepared to spend money? Do some work? or Take it to some old timer who is willing to earn some money. Now that you have the print out it is easier to estimate what needs to be done. Good Luck and keep up posted how did you fixed the car. I am not trying to be rude in any form or way.

8 washers and it's still almost 3° out? You got some issues.
