Default Alingment Specs help

I have my 94 integra lower quite a bit. I am not getting a camber kit cuz i trust they are worthless and i love my camber. i got a alingment today and we got these specs after:
front left camber: -3.8 toe: .03
front right camber: -3.3 toe: .05
rear left camber: -2.2 toe: .11
rear right camber: -2.0 toe: .12
the only thing i was wonder since stock specs 0 in front and .09 in the rear, should i set it as that or should it be slightly different to make up for the camber? i am quite close to stock specs but i get alingments for free so its no trouble to do it again.just let me know what you guys think

id just set the toe to spec and leave the camber if your not too worried about the tire wear your going to have. the car will re-act alot better if the toe was set even and your steering wheel will be straight again.

Your car is ricer low if you have that much camber. If that is your thing then bling on by all means. Keep in mind that your car handles like crap. I run -2.5 up front and -1.5 or less in back on my DC2 Integra road race car. On my street car I run like -1.8 or less up front and -1 in back. Zero toe all the way around on both cars. Sometimes I will toe the rear of the race car out a hair to get it to rotate but you want to be at zero or slightly toed in on a street car for more stability.

Camber kits are not worthless. People that have said that just mean that toe shreds tires more quickly than camber. But if you actually want your car to handle well it is nice to be able to adjust camber. But if you wanted your car to handle you wouldn't have it hammered so there ya go. Hondas don't have crap for suspension travel and will be all over the bump stops as low as you are running. Also, your car is going to want to pull to the right, especially with you in the car. Another nice reason for camber adjustment is you can get in the car while it is aligned and set the camber so it is equal side to side.

Camber kits are not pointless, most of them do the job at hand quite well.

problem with a camber kit if you decide to use one.. you're too low so the camber kit will hit the shock tower.
