This shocked me because everyone here on these forums said that you would not need a camber kit for the Si suspension or HFP suspension because it was made for the car. The HFP suspension install instructions are the exact same for the Si and LX. I double checked to make sure the upper arms were the same part # as the Si and they are so I don't see why I would need a Camber kit to fix this horrible problem. The worse part is this is my wifes and she never wanted me to modify our cars again because of this reason. That is why I bought the Si suspension, so I didn't have any problems with it. I am in the Army and here I am with a problem I can't afford. Someone please help!:SHOCKED:
OK, just relax.

Although the rear camber numbers aren't ideal for FWD cars, they aren't poor or dangerous; the camber settings on my Civic are in the high 1's (-1.7, -1.8). Besides, toe settings wear a tire moreso than camber.
