Camber kits for my my wife's lowered Accord on Volks?
Lowered my wife's car w/ a simple TEIN set-up and Just got an alignment - the tech said he can only get it adjust so much and I need a good camber kit, any suggestions?

first off, let me just say that is absolutely beautiful and you need to get us some better pics.
secondly, from the looks of the pictures, your camber shouldnt be off enough to be an issue, as long as the rest of the stuff (toe, etc.) are within spec. Id say just keep an eye on her wear and if you notice some camber wear, go ahead and spring for the kit, but it looks like youre good to me

I believe you only get the adjustable camber plate if you purchase the optional pillow-ball upper mounts. Even then, I believe the camber adjustments are only for the front.
If someone knows for sure, please chime in...
JUNIOR_jdmtheory, did you get a printout of the final alignment? If so, how much is the camber as of now? I would say that anything up to 1.5 degrees is fine for a daily-driven car (i.e. not pushed to the limits often). Between 1.5 and 2 is "iffy", depending on preferences. As already mentioned, toe is what can really affect tire wear... For example, I have 1.2/0.5 degrees of camber, front and rear respectively, and have no real issues of abnormal tire wear (I DO have a camber kit in the rear though).
If you decide to get a camber kit, you'll probably be fine with just a rear kit. If I recall correctly, your Accord's suspension setup is similar to 6th gen Accords... Double wishbone in front, multi-link in the rear. If so, your rear tires will have more camber than the front...
EDIT: Looking at the pics again, I would say the front looks fine. The rear, however, looks to have a bit of camber... If it was me, I would only purchase a rear camber kit. Any of the previously mentioned brands will do fine.
