Camber looks fine to me. ~2* all around. I prolly would've shifted the front beam over a tad to even out the camber, but I don't have access to an alignment rack anymore

Everything seems okay here though.

You can loosen the lower crossmember boltsand shift it around with a prybar, then have someone tighten the bolts back down while you hold it in place. Its not much, but you can use it to move caster and camber around on a lot of hondas. Its a pretty standard method at any Honda dealer, even instructed in a few service bulletins.
