Default Adjusting rear camber

Is the rear camber adjustable, and if so how do you adjust it? I just installed Tein S-Tech springs on my MY05 and want to adjust the rear camber back to stock specifications. Thanks for any and all advice.

yea, most shops say it can't be done, because their 1-week training class says that hondas are not adjustable, so it gets ingrained in their heads. They'll argue it, too.

No, what I mean is, is there a component in the rear suspension that allows for adjustment of the rear camber? On my last car, an 04 Accord Coupe, I had to purchase adjustable camber arms from SPC because there was NO WAY to adjust the camber without them. I had read a post on this forum somewhere that said that camber adjusting equipment was not required because the S2K's rear camber could be adjusted. What I need know is, if the rear camber is adjustable from the factory, how is it done? Thanks for any and all replys.

Just saw this and thought I would reply. The factory camber is adjustable but only to an extent. SPC does have front and rear kits available for our vehicles. I have them on the front of my04 and they work great. You can find them at www.camberkit.com I didn't use them on the rear and the rear tires seemed to wear very evenly. Just make sure to get a good 4 wheel alignment at a reputable shop. Hope this helps even though it has been a while.
