Default Cant Get OEM Alignment

Anybody ever have this problem? I installed eibach springs and tried to get oem alignment specs and the right rear is way out (too negative). The mechanic says -3 degrees is the clossest he can get. Doesn't look like it's ever hit a curb or anything, I know I never have. I do have to replace the toe arm because of the bushing but I'm assuming that won't affect camber.

Is there anything I could do to get some more positive camber without spending $200 on a camber kit? Would replacing control arm bushings help?

Guess I'll have to go to the Honda Stealership to see what they say.

Edit: Just read you mention that -3... It is kinda way off. Mine dropped with 1" and close to way that it was with stock. Should try take it to another alignment place.

Damn....I'm thinking it's a control arm bushing. Maybe it sat on a unlevel surface for a long time. 2002 with only 3X,000 miles on it, was sitting most of it's life.

thanks
