4 wheel alignment (front off spec)

Hi,

I lowered my 1987 260E with Eibach Springs and Bilstein Sports. I just got her aligned and here are the readings

Front Right CAMBER
-1.4 deg (spec -0.4 to 0.1)

Front Right CASTER
10.6 deg (spec 9.4 to 10.4)

Front Left CAMBER
-0.9 deg (spec -0.4 to 0.1)

Front Left CASTER
10.1 deg (spec 9.4 to 10.4)

The shop said that my CAMBER is max'd out. Are these reading going to eat my tires out and how bad do you think this is? Is there a fix?

They also said that the 10.6 CASTER reading for the right-front is fine since you want the right side to be ahead due to road conditions or other... this true?

please advise... it cost me $100 for the 4 wheel alignment.
