Default camber adjust

being a hard-core DIY... I fixed the front end of the civic. While everything is removable without heat, swearing, wd40, and/or a breaker bar, I figure dialing in a little camber more would aid handling. Of course too much is bad (duh) but maybe I just like to tinker. Which bolt adjusts the camber on these cars?

There isn't one. You need high quality adjustable upper control arms.

They also sell some cheesey brakets that replace the upper control arm bushings. Not sure if they are still around but they were 6 to 7 years ago.

a cheap way to get more negative camber in the front is to shim the upper control arm bushings. unbolt the upper control arm from the chassis. and drop it down. you may need to take the shock/spring out to make it easier. add a washer or two, then bolt it back up.

lowering the upper control arm bushings makes the upper control arm angle up more, adding more negative camber, and a greater camber curve for more aggressive handling.

be sure to align the car after.
