i heard that the rear doesnt really need a camber kit or alignment as much as the front because theres very little weight and its basically free wheeling.

no you still need a alignment.LOL it might not need the camber kit no i agree... it just looks really bad with that much negative camber.
but alignment is a must on any vehicle besides a motor cycle....

The rear still needs aligned. The rear tires don't wear as much as the fronts do because they're not drive wheels, but they still wear.

The civic has something close to a 60/40 weight distribution, so there's still a good bit of weight over the rear of the car (on a 2,200lb EG, the rear tires would be supporting ~880lbs, compared to the front supporting 1,320lbs).
