Maybe you went fast enough to get a relativistic effect?
But then all the wheels would be slightly younger than the rest of the car.
Its true! Airline pilots spend so much time going fast, they're a second younger than than the rest of us at retirement!

By "camber equalization" you mean moving the SF R or L such that camber is equally....
bad on both sides? But that's not alignment, not correcting camber errors, just equalizing them, L to R. The Sport suspension, having F flange mounted wheel bearings, can be camber corrected/adjusted by shimming the bearing mounting flanges, BTDT in all DIY alignments.
Total Toe, F&R, should be centered on the chassis for the car to go down the road straight, not crabbing. I center toe on the B pillar to pan weldament spacing, an easy measurement in any DIY alignment procedure.

"F" = typo. Delete. You apparently are not familiar with the '02 C5 Sport suspension!...
The flanged wheel bearing face bolts to the Al vertical member, thus is easily shimmed to adjust camber. 0.035"= 1 deg camber.
