Alignment problem...... a little advice needed
91 CRX Si with kyb gr2 shocks and Ground Control coilovers dropped about 1.5
I went and got a alignment printout done and here are the results
Front Left Caster 5.43
Front Right Caster 6.09
Front Left Toe 0.33
Front Right Toe -0.07
Front Left Camber -1.69
Front Right Camber-1.44
Specifications
Caster Min 2.00 Max 4.00
Toe Min -0.09 Max 0.09
Camber Min -1.00 Max 1.00
What can I do to correct these? Mainly I am most concerned about the caster.

Front Camber won't be able to be adjusted without some type of camber kit (adjustable anchor bolts, sliding ball-joint, etc.)
Front Toe you can adjust via the tie-rods.
Caster, while its not really an adjustable thing, you may be able to bring back into spec. by checking the radius rods. There's not much to the rear part, where they attach to the front lca with two bolts, other than being loose or tight. But the front portion where it goes through the front cross-member is where you should focus your attention. Sometimes the nut loosens over the years or the bushings that sandwich the cross-member have worn. Try tightening that up and/or replacing those radius rod bushings.
