Default In a pickle and need help

So got my car aligned today and turns out the crappy no name coilovers that are on it are still keeping it out of better alignment. The guy at the shop is telling me i need camber kits for the front and rear that will run me 700 from them.

Im thinking that either i should buy a skunk 2 camber kit and put it on myself or get new struts and springs that will bring my civic back to stock height and put them on myself. Then get it aligned again.

Since my birthday is in a few days i figure ill get the parents to get me new struts and springs. I was thinking of getting koni yellows with ground control springs or coilovers. Anyone got any other suggestions or places i can get these for a reasonable price.
