Looks pretty good. Caster and Toe are right on. The Camber is slightly aggressive for the street, but there is no harm in that except tire wear. Your car should handle great with those settings.

I plan on cutting my springs the same way. Did it settle some more?

I cut one full coil all the way around on my car and never put in any caster camber plates and the car handles great and tire wear is fine. The caster camber plates would optimize the suspension geometry, but I have had no ill effects from not having them.
