Got an alignment to my surprise the car must have not been aligned after the swap which I thought it was, numbers way off! The guy asked my preference and I thought maxed out camber with stock edc and eibach springs would be somewhere around -1.5 (f) with pins pulled and -2 rear so I told him to max. He told me he maxed it out as requested and was able to squeeze more out at -1.96 (FL) -1.88 (FR) -2.23 (RL) -2.13 (RR) 0 toe up front and around .1 degree toe in rear. I feel like this might be a bit too agressive camber for street only. How the hell did I surpass what I thought was max negative camber, is it possible a different calibration with their alignment tools?

Alignment done on 220m wheels.

I'd say be happy. With stock suspension that's pretty good. I think you're probably lowered with the Eibach springs which gives you a bit. more neg camber. Neg 2 1/4 degrees in the back might be considered aggressive for the street but that's what I run and I'm just getting ready to swap out my Michelin Pilot Super Sports after 34,000 miles. I think you'll be fine. Front still not enough it you're going to do a lot of track work but for street it's great.

that's not too aggressive by any means. I used to run-3.5 on my m4 as a daily. after -3 you start eating thru inner tires quicker
