Default Just got my car back from alignment.. -tech questions

Got some crazy readings. I have Sportlines and Eibach Blues on all 4 corners for about 2 years. It says my Caster on the right side is set waay back. And my camber on the rear passenger side is -2 degrees while the other side is pretty much normal. What would cause these things?
How do I fix the Caster on the front? (Its a 4gen Prelude Si)

You can fix caster by either repairing anything that is bent or by shimmingor bending the radius rod or by having it pulled by a frame shop or by installing adjustable upper control arm balljoints with this capability. The rear camber can be shimmed more positive with washers or shims.
