Lowering springs/Alignment question's

As I said in my earlier post I lowered my 2012 TL SH with 1.4" springs. I read on this site some saying that if you only lower car 1-2 inch that the camber won't be out of whack but if you lower 3-4 inch the camber will be messed up.
My question's are is there camber adjustments to be made on the rear or do I need to buy more parts? And do you think 1-2 drop will throw the camber way off and last does anyone know what the camber specs are on this car?

Thanks in advance for your time and help. First time Acura owner here.

There is a small amount of Camber adjustment with the stock arm. Should be enough to bring everything back or close to spec with the drop you have.
Drive around for a few day and allow the Springs to settle a bit, you will have to get an Alignment. The Camber should be between -0.5 to -1.8 degrees IIRC.

Had the alignment done today. I was told there is in rear camber adjustment and that I would need to buy the rear adjustable camber kit to get it back into specs. The rear max spec is -1.8 and mine is -2.6

Yes, you will need the Camber Arm only. SPC is about the best you can get.
I suggest that you do this sooner than later to preserve your rear Tires.
