Rear toe camber caster kit
I am trying to find a pair of rear toe adjustable control arm camber / caster kit. Does anyone have any knowledge of where I can find them. I lowered my car about an inch. Thanks for any help

You have to use shims behind the hub. What do you want to adjust, specifically?
Spoon makes two types of shim for GK5.
Street verion:
Toe: IN 0°30′ → 0°
Camber: No Change.
Race verion:
Toe: IN 0°30′ → 0°
Camber: －1°30′ → －2°30′

My tires are pushed in and a wheel alignment will not fix the rear toes and was told I will need a camber caster kit I was also advised to buy adjustable control arms.

On the double wishbone typical Honda suspensions you can buy a kit (bolts or adjustable control arms) to adjust these things, and toe can be adjusted without any special parts. On the Fit the rear is literally just a beam across the back that the hubs are bolted to, and a shock/spring. The control arm is one giant piece that can't be adjusted. All you can do is adjust the position of the hub itself by shimming behind it.
If your toe is out from factory spec there may be damage somewhere. I know with the Eibach kit (-1.2" front, -1.4" rear) the toe stays the same. There isn't any way for it to really change is my understanding.

sadly, its all we got. we dont have the option for control arms .... literally all we can do back there to adj toe/camber is shove cheese wedges (shims) and straight up TILT the wheel to the angle we want

Ordering a replacement sway bar end link and I noticed MOOG offers shims for rear camber and toe.

Yes the shims are safe. They're just between the caliper bracket and your hub, kind of like a washer, but tilting things where you want them to go.

The spoon rear adjustment plates are for a vehicle with rear disc brakes (assuming the RS model from Japan). I wonder if buying this would allow for a cheaper rear disc brake set up than the $1000+ kit that is sold for Fits...
