yea you can correct the rear camber with washers. 1 washer=.5 degree change I think...

I got 3 washers on each stock bolt but I haven't died yet

yeah, you can use shims or washers on 97 or older accords to correct the rear camber. don't waste your money on a rear camber kit when you can go to home depot and buy washers that do the same thing for $5

ingalls sells the mild camber kit for the rear which corrects up to .75 degrees...it is 3 washers and each corrects .25 degrees.
the kit they sell is 4 bolts that are lime 5mm longer than teh stock ones, with the washers....this can be done on all 90-97 accords i know for sure.

Camber kits are a better idea in the longrun. They'll provide better integrity than something like a washer would.
