That site will explain what each is. I'm not sure which company to go with; I would suggest researching (google.com is your friend). Your front camber kit will consist of replacing the Lower Control Arms (LCA's). I know that some companies have ones that allow you to adjust caster, as well as camber; for an additional cost.
I know that K-MAC and Ground Control allow adjustment of both, but I am not sure if they have an application for your Civic. I have also heard that Ingalls kits are pretty good.

Whoever does the install should have an alignment machine. They will know what degrees to set it to. You may have to do some road testing. Try to find a reputable place, not some scandalous tire shop.

Has Ingall's camber kits for $150 for front (same $150 for rear)...
I'ma contact thm see if they have any kits for my car...Do i need anything else?? besides the camber kit? Or if i got that, installed it, I would be set...I just dot want my tires to wear down quickly...
Skywalker-did you have a camber kit?? Cuz one side of the tire that i have is EXTREMELY more cupped than the other (i asssumethis was due to lack fo camber kit?? but im stupid so i dunn)

Ingalls should make kits for your car. The front kit will actually replace your LCA's, the rear kit I believe bolts on easier and allow adjustment. The ones I had were some cheap domestic made parts; get good ones for your car. And no, you won't need anything else; just an alignment. If you intend on getting a front strut bar, this would be a good time to throw it on.
