ya youll be fine with your camber being off a slight bit.
if it doesnt look right to you then pull one of the rear upper arm bolts off the body mount and take that bolt to a hardware shop and buy 4 new bolts that are ruffly 1/4-1/2inch longer and then buy some washers for them ruffly 2-4 per bolt so 8-16 washers, then pull both bolts off the upper arms and put the washers BEHIND the arm and stick the bolts thru and bolt em down... thats the washer trick to fix the rear camber.
then just put the car on its wheel again and look if the wheel is straight enough for ya.... or not add another washer or two.... all depends on how thick your washers are. i used 3 washers per bolt on my 99 when i had the mild drop.

the front camber was just SLIGHTLY out. nothing to worry about at all. you couldnt really tell it by looking at it. and yes my rear toe was still in the red due to a seized bushing on the rear toe adjuster. i fixed later on.
also that drop was with TEIN Stech springs and blue struts.

hopefully that helps ya out.

Yeah, camber kits are unnecessary... I was rocking 3* of negative camber on my old civic (had to to tuck the tires without rubbing), had the toe zeroed and I never had any real tire wear.

And I'd check into replacing the bushings. 12 year old rubber bushings aren't exactly the best.

yea you can either get oem bushings or some energy suspension bushings...youll find a million opinions for both so youll have to make your own judgement on what you want to go with.
