I've got the same issue with the rears on my Aerodeck. There's just enough camber from lowering the front that I can get away with it, but the backs still protrude almost 10mm! I've done two trips recently loaded up with a full set of tyred rims and cornering at speed didn't sound pretty :? I've currently got a few sets of adjustable rear camber arms saved in my ebay watch list which should give me up to 2 extra degrees in the right direction, so I imagine something simular exists for your lude ??? I've held off getting mine so far though as I'm getting some body work done towards the end of July, so I may look into getting my arches flared out subtly as well.
These cars don't have rear camber arms AT ALL. Totally different suspension setup to newer Honda's. :( GAY.

Ahh yes, I forget, the 3rd gen Accord was the first Honda to have wishbone suspension all round. Shame, are there no options? Can you mod/shorten/weld the OEM setup at all?

Love that Windmaster too 8)

Got my throttle body back from the machine shop.

Been bored out an extra 4mm and a new butterfly made to suit the new larger hole.
