17,500 miles on the car and the factory tires were ruined. Found out there is not enough camber adjustment to align the rear for the best tread life. Any recommendations on a kit? Also is it easy to install or should I take it to the shop that will be doing the alignment to install?
Not sure if anyone else has anything to offer but I had this same issue on my old nissan 300zx. (Little bit different I know) but what I did to fix the issue was remove the strut tower and slot the bolt holes at the top to allow me to move the whole shock assembly to where I could make the hub mount level. (It only needed like 1/2 inch). Not sure if this will help you but there are likely not too many kits around for something that new.

I found this kit: https://eibach.com/us/2140/5.67476K-HONDA-Accord-pro-alignment
Just disappointed that a new car requires this in order to get the car aligned so the tires do wear prematurely. Dealer was no help.
That is pretty insane that it is so well known that eibach had to make a kit out of it. This seems like it would fix the issue as well if the mounting points for the ball joint were extended slightly.
Yes, … that’s Honda for you! All Honda’s. Get an Eibach kit - not cheap: Part # 5.67476K
Adjusts camber arm:+3.0 / -3.0 degrees of adjustment.
Also, rotate tires often. It prolongs tire set life by a long, long bunch since front to rear camber is opposite: front positive, rear: negative.
F.S.
At least 2 different types of kits available on the web, depending on how much adjustment range you want. Easy install, don't drive much until alignment.
