Do I need a camber kit? (alignment data provided)
My most recent alignment record shows that my rear wheels camber actual and before is out of the range.
Rear: Left camber is -1.6 before and -1.5 after and Rear: Right is -1.9 before and -1.9 after where specified range is -1.5 to -0.5.
I asked for this report in a first place because I had problems over the past few years with tires wearing down on the inner edges too quickly although I check alignment regularly and I have lifetime alignment.
I would like to know if this means that I should be looking into camber kit to adjust this because I've heard from independent mechanic that TL's have limitations on adjustments and may need the kit.
Please advise.

acuras suck as far as inner tire wear goes for some reason.... typically toe will kill the inner tire way faster than a slightly out of spec camber number....
a lot of people claim if the compliance bushings are bad then the toe gets messed up as the tire can shift after they set the toe since the bushing is bad... not really sure because my bushings look ok but my tires on the front wear on the inside even when i was stock.
