Is this normal?
Is it normal to have my front left camber so far off from my right? I got an alignment right after they installed my coil overs and this is what they gave me, and is -2 in the rear good or bad? Does anyone know what factory specs are?

Yes that looks normal for lowered IS for it to camber like that.there are no adjustments from factory to correct.
I would not worry about it too much as long as toe adjustment is good. Toe wear is what eats tires faster than camber wear

The sheet tells you the factory spec. range (above the larger current values).
The good news is that everything looks great except for the front camber. Front/Rear toe numbers are right where you want them to be and rear camber looks good too. My guess is that your ride height is slightly different on the front (left to right) and that's where the camber difference is coming from since you have coilovers. Keep in mind, these numbers benefit handling not wear characteristics.
My recommendation, readjust right side (-1.0deg) ride height by lowering it more to try and get the camber a little closer to left side. I'd want my side-to-side values to be within 0.2-0.5 deg. if possible. The alignment shop should be able to recheck for no additional charge.
