Camber / Caster adjustment.
You want to have some negative camber. There is no front camber adjustment, but lowering the car will put enough neg. camber in to the mix.
Just have the shop adjust the toe, and you should be OK.
There is a small adjustment in the rear for camber, but you want to run a little neg. camberfront and rear.
If you really want to, you can buy a camber kit, but 95% of us here do not have it, because it really is not necessary. I have experienced no uneven tire wear from the -1.5deg. of neg camber in the front.
In fact, the car handles amazingly and I wouldn't change a thing.

The shop just called me and they say that according to the machine it is all set but there is still some pull to the left (there was some to the right before). All adjustments are good so what can be done next?
Well, pulling to one side or the other means the alignment is still off.
It could be a faulty component elsewhere, like a worn tie-rod end, or control arm. Is the steering tight, or is there play in the steering? That would indicate a worn tie-rod end, which really should have been fixed before doing an alignment. It may be impossible to align the car and have no pull if other suspension parts are worn.
Ask tthem to inspect the tie-rod ends for wear/ play, as well as the control arms. Of course this may lead to a lot of additional work or cost, as well as an alignment that will need re-done.

who fitted the tie rods/ track rod ends?? these are used to set the tracking up which could be your problem, only diagnosis I can give is use another garage with good up to date gear for checking the alignment ( not forgetting the camber in the road surface of course ) which could pull the car slightly
I have installed everything. The car had a slight pull to the right but now it's more noticable. I have the report from the alignment machine and the right side is out of specification.
