Default 2013 Accord EX out of camber spec (54k miles)

Anyone have a 2013 accord that was recently aligned? Mine was yesterday after new tires and the left rear wheel is at -1.8 degrees, spec is -1.8 to -0.8. The shop said they can't adjust since the setup is not adjustable.

Is it worth investigating this? Is it worth getting adjustable after market kit and if so which is a good brand?

Everything else is looking good with the alignment numbers. Car was never in an accident and I'm not sure how it could have been thrown this far from the center of the spec.

Thanks

No reason for it to be out of specs at that mileage unless some damage was done. Was there unusual wear on the rear tires? If not,Id forget about it or get a second opinion if it really bothers you.

No damage. I have owned it since 2 miles on the car. The tires lasted 54k miles and were in good shape. I replaced them and wanted to get the car aligned and got the news about the camber. Talked to a mechanic and his thoughts were the number I'm seeing (-1.8 deg) is right on the edge of spec and he didn't think it was worth spending $ on it. Spec is -1.8 to -0.8. He said hitting a pothole just the wrong way could do it, so I could have done that. I suppose I can get a camber adjustment kit.
