New adjustable camber arms, still looks off..
I bought my 2007 civic used and it never had the correct rear upper control arms installed. I just had a new camber kit installed today with adjustable arms. When i took my car i noticed that the wheels still look to have a negative camber. I asked for the alignment printout and it stated that the new camber was actually in the +.2 range but the wheels still look to tilt in a bit. Is this normal, should i take it to another shop to get a second opinion.
Thanks

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

From Bulletin 08-001:
Rear camber specification range:
- 1.5° to 0° (- 1° 30’ to 0°)

camber is measured to the ground, not to the body.
look at the car with this reference in mind and tell us if it still looks high neg cambered. Remember that the body is rounded inversely, so just look at the wheel-to-ground angle.
if it still looks neg cambered, then go back to the shop.
