just about any alignment kit will fix camber and i dont' think caster is adjustable on civics. but don't quote me on that. toe is adjustable without a kit.

You got it

Chiclets

then why can't the alingment shops do the alingment correctly on my car so that my tires dont' wear out uneven the shops tell me that if the set the camber to where it is supposed to be then it trows of the caster and vise versa.

Well, how low is your car?

With a modest drop (1.5-2") your camber shouldn't be that far off. My car is lowered on Sportlines and is only 0.2 degrees out of specs and it hasn't been enough to adversely affect tire wear.

If you're lowered more than two inches or so, I would imagine that you're just going to have to buy a camber correction kit, then try to find a compromise between camber and castor. Generally speaking, most shops are used to working on cars with OE suspension, and when you throw aftermarket parts into the mix they may not know exactly how to handle it. I'm not sure really what to say except you're dealing with a problem that all of us suffer from more or less.
Does anybody else have any helpful insight here?

The shop that your going to is bullshitting you. When you use aftermarket camber kits on Hondas, that wont' affect your caster! If your caster is out that means that something is bend. Unless if something is bend your car should be within specs. Or maybe out by a bit. That's it. I do enough alignments to know this.
