Symptoms of what? Are the numbers you posted before or after alignment?
Rear camber is okay where it is but why is the toe so far out?
And why do brakes have an effect....
Elaborate please.

Sorry for the confusion. I just have problem with the rear cambers. I also posted my brembo brakes installation in this forum. Some members asked about the alignment after the installation of the brembo brakes. So I posted the picture of the front alignments.

There is a TSB for the the rear link thst affects camber on the TSX. You could take it to a dealer, tell them your issue and mention the TSB. If your car is on the stock suspension, there is a chance those links are bad and replacing them will get your camber back in spec.
If the car is lowered, you need a set of camber adjusting aftermarket links. Ingalls sells a nice set. They like to seize up though so make sure you coat the threaded portion with anti-sieze before you install them. Then get it realigned and the alignment shop has all the adjustment they need to fix it.
Remember, the camber is not adjustable from the factory only toe is. 2 degrees of camber isn't an issue by itself unless your toe is out as as well, then you will wear your tires quickly.
Since its a multi link they are heavily inter related. If your camber rod changes length, your toe is affected. If your toe is adjusted, your camber changes. With the ingalls kit it fixes this.

Why did firestone not fix it? Is that a print out of AFTER they did the alignment?? Was something siezed or stuck in your suspension adjusting mechanism? Or was the guy just drunk AF?

No way to adjust the camber. Maybe Firestone thought the camber being out of spec a bit was enough to throw in the towel?

I did the A-spec suspension with progress RSB and my rear camber was out for about +6 years. I just did tire rotations/cross-rotations every oil change and it didn't seem to cause any problems. I did the lifetime alignment with Firestone and take it back twice a year to correct everything else.
After 100k, my front passenger upper control arm was worn and needed to be replaced to get back into specs. I went with the Heeltoe HTSpec Ultimate Camber Kit Combo, 2004-08 Acura TSX, $650, to get everything into the green. I've green 100% at Firestone for +3yrs. You can get the entire kit or just the bits you need to correct the camber.
