I just my alignment today at sears, I did not see alot of improvement, steering wheel is straight but car still pulls to the left, this is before alignment and the same after alignment, techician says have to go to body to readjust or fix caster because they manufacturer won't do front caster,

alright just installed pair of yokohama advan sport for front (thanks to Dean) and got alignment right away.
the rear is pretty much maxed out
and my car height is (crappy cellphone pic 
) :
question : my front is 19x8 (+38) using 235/35/19, the inner side of front tires were badly rubbing with something (i don't know what it is yet) when i hit uneven road, will put a spacer give more clearance in that inner area ? i'll take a picture of my old front tires, the inner was bad....some of the white wires were out.

Your front tires are wearing inside because of too much cross toe with that kind of camber. Normally you don't see camber wear until you've hit about -2.5 degrees, and you're slightly over that. With that kind of camber angle, I would have zero'ed out the toe if you really care about tire wear. Straight line tracking may be not be as good as before, but nothing unbearable.
As for the rear toe, you need to get the rear passenger side checked out. It could possibly be the rear toe link gone bad or the adjusting cam is not seated the way it should be (something that happened to my rear driver side). Rear camber looks fantastic though.

Your total rear toe is -.75. That's eventually going to chew up the inside of your tires. Get adjustable toe arms ASAP. You need to get that number down to zero or slightly positive, but negative toe is a death sentence for tires.
What camber hole setting are you using on your rear RCAs ?
And btw when you drive , doesn't the rear feel loose going quick around turns?
Since your front camber is waaaay out of spec a little positive front toe is actually helpful in reducing inner tire wear. Zero toe is only good when camber is in spec.

maybe its time for some SPC adjustable front adjustable upper ball joint for your front camber.
that rear pass toe is still messed up....try removing that tire and see where the toe bolt (looks like rear oem camber bolt) is currently set...take a pic if possible.

i'll check it this weekend. Hmmm i didn't really pay attention on rear feel loose or not, i drove like grandma...so maybe that's why. I'll try do a quick turns next time.
where can I find the FRONT toe adjustable ? only found a rear one on ebay

If you look at the paper... Looks like he only adjusted the right fronts the most and not much on the left. And as for the rear, it almost look the same like he didn't even touched it. The rear is very in bad shape. And your thrust angle went up compared to the previous alignment results. The max for thrust angle is .10 degrees. Your car is definitely gonna pull.
