The HFP kit doesnt allow you to change rear camber. -2 degrees is just what the rear suspension will be at after its lowered. For the front, 0 is recomended because that's what Honda recomends from the factory. Honda's alignment is ment to cause understeer and save tires. The question is, why put an alignment on that causes understeer and lessens tire wear? Answer, so honda doesnt get sued. Ive been running similar settings for 7000 miles now and I have every even tire wear on all 4 tires and my car still has enough (read too much) understeer to keep me safe on the streets.
