you have to manually adjust it, which means you'd need to take to alignment shop so they can set it to spec.

^ not true, camber is not adjustable on civics' stock suspension. That's why you need a camber kit.


I don't know how they work either but I'd like to find out.... anyone?

The rear camber kit replaces the upper trailing arm mount with a turnbuckle. This allows the camber to be set back to stock...like 0 to -1*. There are two or three styles for the front camber kits. The nicest (best) type replaces the entire upper A arm and has an adjustable sliding ball joint. Type two has replacement fittings for where the stock A arm mounts to the body.
Hunt on Ebay under honda camber and you'll see all the parts. See the pics.
