Default RSX rear alignment?

Is there anything that can be adjusted on the stock rear suspension of the RSX? We're installing coilovers on the rear of a 2002 RSX and will keep the stock rear upper control arms (we expect a lot of negative camber). I'm wondering if a 4 wheel alignment is a waste of money if there is nothing stock in the back that can be adjusted for toe, camber, or caster.

Negative camber isn't bad.
What are your plans for this car? You just doing cosmetics or you actually trying to improve the handling for racing?

It'll be cosmetic only for a few years while I focus on areas of the car. Is there anything to align on the back?

I haven't really looked at the RSX rear suspension yet. I just got my RSX. Maybe if I get a chance I will look underneath it and get back to you on that.

But there should be a BOLT back there that controls the toe it allows the arm to slide.

Yes there is toe adjustment... as stated before in another post this info is all stickied... I recommend you read it....

LOL an alignment is never a waste of money... if you skip that you will pay dearly for other components and possibly risk an accident...
