Default new to suspention , NEED HELP BAAAAD!!

i have a stock '95 civic dx coupe, fully stock, as far as suspention, ride height etc.....
the problem : i put brand new front tires on my car this past august, and didnt check the camber...i just put them on , to get by.... anyways, i just replaced both tires this past weekend cause the insides (closest to the engine) of the tires was worn to the belt, and the outsides of the tires still had some tread left on them... this to me-seems like i am in need of a camber adjustment, BAD! i jacked the car up , and i didnt see a camber plate by the ball joint, or on the upper A arm or on the shock tower........where the hell is my camber adjustment locATED??????? and if possible, can someone give me the steps to perform this adjustment,???(this would be my first camber adjustment, i do 98 percent of the work on my car myself, so i am mechannically inclined, i just need someone to share some of their experience with me...)i know it wont be an exact adjustment , but i HAVE to get it better than it currently is, i can not keep forking out 150 for tires, every 6-8 months....
the car-right now- is a daily driver, nothing special , but i do have plans for it , down the road, i would like to slowly upgrade the suspension 100%, for performance..... PLEASE honda gods....HELLLP!!

I ain't reading that. Learn to use paragraphs if I don't answer correctly from just skimming.

Camber is not adjustable stock, for most Hondas.

You don't need to adjust camber anyway. You need to get your toe set correctly. That will end the uneven and accelerated tire wear.

2000 GSR, -4* front camber, daily driver, no uneven tire wear in 2 years.
