Considering that the rear suspension on a FIT is a straight axle, there would be NO change in camber. The reason you have a change in camber on your S2K is because you have control arms that change geometry when you raise or lower your vehicle. The FIT does not use this same rear suspension design as most other Hondas. Take a look at the Scion guys, they use camber shims to create negative camber, and they use the same straight axle. Lowering an xB will not change rear camber either.

You will alter the camber in the rear if you lower the car. A slight drop may not cause your camber to change much but a large drop will. If you drop your car and don't readjust the camber to specs, you can have increased tire wear. I've lowered my Prelude and my rear camber is still within spec but went from 0 camber to almost 1 and it can't be dialed out. My S2000 is lowered and went from a max 2 degree camber to now a 3 degree camber which is fine by me because I autox it and like the extra camber. Have you ever seen the slammed cars on the road with their rear wheels all canted inward?
