Default Alignment (Camber) Help

My setup:
I am running RS-R ti2000 springs with stock shocks and wheels. These springs lower the car 0.8 in the front and 1.4 in the rear.

Problem:
After lowering my car I can't seem to get the rear camber back to stock specs. There is too much negative camber and its killing my brand new tires. I am aware that we have a built in camber adjustment, but my Honda dealership can't seem to get it right They said that they have maxed out the camber adjustments.

I've been reading that a lot of people are able to get their alignment corrected that have lowered the cars much more then mine. Is my Honda dealership doing something wrong?

I also wanted to know if purchasing Go Fast Lab S2000 Rear Anti-Bumpsteer Kit #223 would correct the problem?

Thanks in advance for any advise!

im currently running the espiler springs and loving the 1.3 drop. my camber was so horrible after settlement, and i went to several different alignment shops. im 99% sure that if you try another shop (maybe a shop aside from honda, i.e. i went to a evans tire service center), you'll get what you want. when i got my alignment it also came with the camber/toe/etc adjustment and got it for free with my tires. heres a coupon.



and locations to evans service centers

If you still can't seem to get your camber back to spec, let me know. We will be posting a vendor listing soon for a brand new set of camber kits that were just released by Specialty Products Company. PM me if you have any questions.
