My guess is the car drives best when within spec. I just had mine done last week. Paid $65 for it and handles great.

Yea in theory negative camber will help a little bit with cornering but camber kits are overrated imo.
Have you recently lowered the car? I would just get an alignment and leave it at that.

the rear camber on these types of honda are supposed to be negative to factory spec. look at your alignment sheet to c where your rear camber is supposed to be. I belive it is supposed to be between -0.2 to -0.8 degrees if i am not mistaken
