So you're saying you're the only one who did not end up with too much negative camber on the rear after lowering? Wonder why.

How long have you had them on? How would you assess ride quality changes?

You're right, but OP's camber didn't change from before to after and are within "specified range" Your numbers, for a 2/12 post, were outside of normal:
Front
Toe: -0.17 to +0.33/.........before: -0.40/ after:0.06
Caster: 6.4.................. (not adjustable)/after:6.5
Camber: -0.33 to -0.36 ..........(not adj)/after:-0.7

Rear
Toe: -0.17 to +0.33/.........before: 0.17/ after:0.06
Camber: -0.85 to -1.0 ............(not adj)/after:-1.6

so after lowering you do need to do alignment to adjust the toe, as for the camber, is a little more than spec, but will help handling and just rotate your tire more often.
