Re: rear camber kits (Kid1320)
I had mine put on at the shop while doing an alignment/camber adjustment.
Here are some pictures of those lovely alignment shims.
If you are putting alignment shims in the rear then you will need an alignment and a toe adjustment. Just ask around as far as local shops go when you are ready to do that, I would imagine most shops would put those in for you.

Re: rear camber kits (Kid1320)
I don't like the guess work involved with the washers and longer bolt trick, i guessed and i was off and had to bring it back so i went ahead and bout a rear camber kit. I'm running ingalls right now, it is okay i guess I've had it lock up on me and it took a wrench with a peice of pipe and some wd40 to get it loose. I think this is due to how the threads are exposed on the ingalls kit, i would go with the Specialty products rear kit.

Re: rear camber kits (tjtruong)
I really like my Specialty Products ones. Super beefy, rubber bushings so no squeaking, and reasonably priced. Only trouble is the Hex size is huge, so you may need to buy some new wrenches.

Re: rear camber kits (kid1320)
you gotta ask yourself why do you want a camber kit? if its too promote better tire wear, ok, but you'd probably find better tire wear from getting your front and rear toe aligned to zero. toe is what really eats the hell out of tires.
i notice you got a lot of spoon/road racing parts on your car so that extra negative camber may not be a bad thing if you participate in events and the like.
but as said before, for tire wear, yea go ahead and get the camber kit, but make sure your toe setting is zero also. both of these will ultimately help in reducing tire wear. lotta people think its just camber alone but thats wrong.
im gonna take a look at the SRR toe and camber units myself.

Get Specialty Products (http://www.specprod.com/)
It's better than the Ingalls (www.ingallseng.com) 389x kit I have. I've gone through 3 sets total between the Civics I have. I learned my lesson and will get the Specialty Products instead.
The reason SpecProd is better is that the threads aren't exposed compared to the Ingalls pictured below. The Ingalls threads have a tendency to rust, which prevents any adjusting of the rear kit. That just makes it useless.
