Default Need a Camber Kit for my 1999 Honda Civic Hatch

Ok so i'm a young car owner (fresh out of high school) . Long story short i was handed down my brother's Honda Civic 1999 Hatchback car. It was lowered by cutting the springs (not good) . The camber has been messed up for quite some time (car looks beautiful though). The front wheels seem to be aligned well enough that there are no problems with irregular tire wear. Although, my left back tire is out of alignment and is bending in a way that i get heavy wear on the inside of my tires ( i have replaced the tires with new ones since this fall semester of my freshman year in college).
I don't plan to tune the car for anything other than daily driving. I'm willing to pay the money to put a decent camber kit on it but i would like to save money (i know that might sound contradicting to some people but I'm not rich haha). I've done a little bit of research and from what i hear i think SKUNK is the best brand (but for people who actually are trying to tune their cars). Is there something lower than this brand that isn't a piece of crap and can last me about 2-4 years depending on how long it takes me to save up for a different car? And do i need both front and rear kits to solve all my tire problems or do i just need the rear kit installed. I don't have a budget. So lets pretend it unlimited. Links to suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I'm not so familiar with after market part websites even though i have done some research of my own.

Thanks in advance guys. I really need the help.

A bit misleading; but true they are probably very low on the totem pole.




To the OP:
- Alignment
- Dampers
- Springs

In that order. Camber kits are more for fine tuning after the above conditions have been met.

Your much better off buying a proper set of shocks/springs first.
