Default can rear camber be adjusted without camber kit?

i lowered my car with eibach pro kit springs and also put 25mm spacer in the back and 20mm in the back. i waited about 3 weeks for everything to settle before i did an alignment. well i went to get an alignment today and the guy said that the front and rear toe and camber were off. he said he could adjust the rear camber but not the front. i asked how he would adjust the rear without a camber kit and he was kinda clueless. well anyway i told him to just adjust the front and rear toe. the front camber is off -1.5 on left and -1.9 on right. should i be worried about front? and also the rear is -2.7 on left and -3.2 on rear. i dont understand how he will adjust without camber kit?? well if i get rear camber kit and adjust back to spec, will my tires rub on fender since i have 25mm spacers and lowering springs?

The factory rear camber arms have eccentrics. But I don't know if they'll have enough adjustment to bring back to spec. You should be alright with the front camber.

Can't help you with the spacer question though

The rear camber can be adjusted through the OEM eccentric bolts. I was able to have mine adjusted from -2.7 to -2.0 at the rear.

The front camber is OK

That is a sign you should take it to someone that has a clue.

Camber kits are not expensive. Get a set so you get more control over how close you can get it in spec. SPC is a popular choice here

I wouldnt buy GodSpeed anything, there are much better "cheap" parts out there. SPC, kinetix or Megan, you will be fine.
