Yeah you bought the center console from me... but why does that matter? haha
I was lowered 1.2in front and read in the 5th gen, no camber kit necessary front and rear, toe and front camber was adjusted to factory spec and wore the tires like normal.
Now lowered almost 3" in front and back with the 6th gen, no camber kit necessary in the front, front and rear camber and toe adjusted to factory spec. Where's tire like normal.
A guy on 6GA is lower like 3.5-4 in. and has -3* camber and wear tires like normal. FACTORY TOE IS KEY!

How long have you been driving like that?
Just called Honda, alignment is $95 and they only have one guy who specializes in lowered Hondas. He said the OEM balljoint needs to be pressed out for the camber kit and that the guy who aligns cars said its a hit or miss w/ the 5th gen.
EDIT: Could get the balljoints put in for about $65 @ a auto place.
EDIT2: I think I am going to get them put in. I paid $160 for the balljoints and if I sell them @ $100 it'll be the same price. Plus...if I decide to slam it l8r it'll be ok!
EDIT 3: Wow, just called the place back and some diff. dbag says their press is way to "wicked" and will break "sh*t" wtf

So I am positive the strut is blown. I smelled the brake fluid compared to the fluid on the ground and it is not the same. I also put the front struts on the 4 setting (max stiffness) and the pass. wouldn't bounce where as the drivers side would.
I still am lost for the rear strut hitting the backseat metal support bracket. The guy said that may be a bad strut too.
They didnt want to press out/in my balljoints/camber kit b/c they were afraid of bending the control arm. He said they could try it....lmao So I am going to get some anchor bolt style and he said it would be $20 to install them. Anyone know where I can get a decent set?
Here are my camber readings (look @ the rear before!!!!) :
