Good chance you will also need a couple of replacement drop links (Item 8) as these can be a PITA to get off in one piece if badly corroded.
Honda UK charge around £50 each for them IIRC.
I never had to replace any of my Castle nuts (Item 28)

And why not go for powerflex bushes? If you just want to sort out the rear camber, you will only need the rear lower arms bush plus the rear camber bolt. It will save you a lot of money!

Just to confirm what I am doing, camber is seized, will this fix it?

What is the ball joint in the diagram please?

I have the rear upper ball joint, where number 9 and 18 go into.
Powerflex bushes aren't too bad, if you are running on coilover then the ride quality is more due from the coilover rather than the bushes itself.

Simon,
I wouldnt bother with 22 or 28.
I'd agree with what Raz has said, bolt 22 has never been seized on any S that I've seen. They've been free on all 3 of my cars, MY00, MY02 and MY04.
Also the castle nuts #28 rarely fail and I have quite a few spares of those so if you were to get stuck then you could give me a shout
I'd also agree with esem about the droplinks, well worth doing and the circlips #5 which Whaninoz has mentioned.
