Default Rear toe ajdustment for Fits?

I spent a fortune to have my '97 Civic lowered properly, an act seeminly lacking in the aftermarket tuning community.

After the Tein springs and dampers went in, they were quickly followed by front and rear camber kits and a rear toe-adjustment kit. After a bit of hassle with alignments, all four wheels on my car point straight and the tires are in full contact with the ground.

I want to do the same when I purchase the '09 Fit.

I've managed to find front and rear camber kits for the current Fit, but not toe-adjustment kits. Do these exist? Do you Fit owners experience problems with rear toe?

07-08 Fits DO NOT have rear toe adjustment. And just looking at the car you can see the weird toe on the rear of the Fit.

I wouldnt worry about rear toe. Im sure its non adjustable for a reason. Like the factory rear camber. If it was zeroed out I bet the Fit would handle horrible.

And even slamming a Fit camber bolts arent needed.
I added negative camber up front to reduce rubbing on my old wheels. Im at around -1.5 camber up front and my tires are showing no sign of camber ware.

i recently hammered my fit and tok it to get the alignment. i thought since the rear is not adjustable it would be really close to stock...wrong! its off pretty bad and for some reason my front driver side is 1.5° and my passenger side is 0° on the camber. im thinkin about that spc kit that has adjustable camber bolts for the front and adjustable shims for the rear.
