I found out that you cant adjust the camber on this Honda, this being said here is the before and actual specs of my alignment:

Left Front--> Camber -1.0(Before) -1.0(Actual)
Caster 2.0 2.0
Toe -0.27 0.01

Right Front--> Camber -0.8(Before) -0.8(Actual)
Caster 1.6 1.6
Toe -0.28 0.02

Left Rear--> Camber -1.7(Before) -1.7(Actual)
Toe 0.02 0.09

Right Rear--> Camber -1.4(Before) -1.4(Actual)
Toe -0.02 0.11

And finally the THRUST ANGLE for the REAR(whatever that is)--> 0.01(Before) 0.21(Actual)

So my question is after looking at these specs and not knowing really WTF I'm looking at or making any sense outta this....Do I need a camber kit? If so, front and back?

Thanks for any input fellas!

I drive a '93 civic not a '98 accord so these numbers are going off of my car. I would think that they would still basiclly work for your car since production cars generally all use basiclly the same settings.
Range for front camber: -1.0 to 1.0 degrees
Range for rear camber: -1.3 to 0.7 degrees

So your rear tires aren't within these specs.

Where did you get your tires last alligned, because it looks like your tires are barely out of spec and could probably be realligned professionally, but then again maybe not, in which case you would need a camber kit if you wanted to bring your car back into factory allignment.

Just remember that your settings might not be exactly the same as mine interms of whats exceptable but im guessing they are pretty close.

 

Your camber angle is fine. neg. camber is what they designed into the car to compensate for suspension travel and passenger weight. Thrust angle is the difference of rear toe from the centerline of the car.

 

I got the car from a guy here in town in April of this year....he had just recently dropped the car 1.5 inches using Eibach springs and added 18" wheels along with 225/35/18 nankang tires......Today before the alignment I had them put on 215/35/18 nankang tires....the guy told me when I bought the car from him that I needed to get an alignment so I am under the impression that he never got an alignment after he dropped it.

What about the inflation on the tires? I have heard so many things as to what the inflation should be that it has confused me here. I have 18" rims with 215/35/18 Nankangs. When I have a full load of people, do I adjust the tire pressure? Thanks for any input!

When you got your tires did they tell you to what PSI they were inflated to? If they did then just use that inflation pressure unless your planning on actually racing with them, then thats a different story. But for the street use the tire pressure they inflated them to when you first got them, that is if they told you what it was.
If you dont know what they came inflated to im sorry but I really couldn't help.

 

the specs should come with ur alignment sheet

as 4 tire pressure run them at least 38 psi with tires walls that small if u run then with less tire pressure u will bend or damage something if u hit a pot hole going fast
