the rear toe in is to cause some drag making the car more stable, but the accord has so much understeer to begin with that setting to 0 will help with tire wear and very slight improvement on reducing understeer.

camber specs are 0 in the front +/- 1 degree, and -0.5 degrees +/- 1 in the rear.. once again, the rear has the half a degree for safety.. it's a family car so it's meant to go straight most of the time.. for those who drive 'sporty', and want to keep the alignment relatively safe for tires.. you can run -1 in the front while maintaining the -0.5 in the rear.

caster is about 2.5 degrees.. it uses shims for adjustment, but the minimal adjustment that can be done on it, it's not really worth messing with.
