Default camber problem?

I have a 94 si which is lowred 1.75" in front and 1.5" in back. i just bought some 16x7 rota circuit 8's and some new tires and had them installed. i had an alignment reading done when i had the springs installed and it said i needed a camber kit for my drivers side rear. so i told the techniocian that when i took the rims to be put on. so i came back later that day and they said everything was aligned perfectly. my problems started when i was on my way home. i noticed that i had to turn the wheel about 1/2" to the left to keep going straight. i then noticed that the driver side rear "looked" like it was sticking out more than the others. if you looked straight down on it from the top, the back of the tire (towards the bumper) was about 1/4" outside of the position that the passenger rear tire was. ( i hope this makes sense) i thought i would be getting more grip with high performance tires but i feel like i had more with my stock tires. is this problem in any way connected to that? is there any way that i could check the toe/camber/alignment at home without going to the shop? (i'm 17 and trying to keep as much of my paycheks as i can!)also, i am hearing these clicks and weird noises that i havn't heard until i got these rims put on. so is that problem connected also and is there any way i can check that at home?

I also have another problem: my abs light is on and my technician said its a common code fault in 4th gen preludes. and not to worry about it until i come in again. could this be a cause of any of my other problems? as you can tell i am in a world of hurt here and any advice would help. thanks
