Default S2000 camber kit needed ?

Car is slammed on bc coils and finally got time to do an alignment the tech who did the job says I need a camber kit because there's not much he can do . After the alignment not much changed here's how the camber is now

Left front -0.4
Caster 7.6
Toe0.04

Right front -1.2
7.3
0.04

Left rear -2.6
Toe0.10

Right rear -3.1
Toe 0.09

I'm not an expert but its seems like they could have done a better job don't know why there's so much difference between sides I might need a camber kit to get to positive camber but shouldn't camber be equal or very close on both sides what do you guys think ??

Well, you don't want positive camber for sure. -3 seems to be the normal limit for the stock suspesion components (at least for the rear). As far as your setting above... I am unsure of the reason of the difference.

Sounds like the tech that was working on your car was a noob. I've been able to get at least -1.5 all around on the front and even if they couldn't get that they should at least make it even. From what I heard from my friend, who's a tech at honda, the only Honda's with adjustable camber from the factory are the S2000 and the NSX or something like that. It sounds like he didn't even try to align anything except for the toe and caster.
