Alignment Issues.

I had just had some Helix DNA coilovers installed (18x7.5 Rims with 235/40/18 Tires) a few weeks ago and just tried to have my car aligned at les schwab tire center and this is the result:

Front: Left = -1.2 Camber
Front: Left = 0.10 toe
Front: Right = 0.4 Camber
Front: Right = -0.64 Toe

Rear: Left = -1.5 Camber
Rear: Left = -0.15 Toe
Rear: Right = -1.9 Camber
Rear: Right = -6.65 Toe

Now Im no expert on alignment/toe/camber such but something is up. They have asked me if I was in an accident before because 6.65 Toe on the rear sounds obsured. Im almost positive that the New Helix DNA's have something to do with it.. But what.. Wrong installation? Bad Coilover?

Whats even more fustrating is before I even took my car in to have an alignment. my car felt fine. Driving on the HWY and such I didnt have much of any pulling to the left or right, but now after I had les Schwab take a look at my car and play with the settings. My steering is tilt about a half an inch while driving straight. I'm going to take my car back today to see if I can have them put it back to how it was before I figure out whats up with my rear right Toe setting.
