Default Camber kit for a 1998 Accord with 1.4" drop?

I just bought a 1998 Accord Coupe with 1.4" Eibech drop all the way around. The inner part of the front two tires are worn out bad. I bought new tires and wanted to get them aligned and the mechanic said that my alignment is ok. But that the only way to correct the wearing of the tires is to raise the car to its original height and that a camber kit will not help in the long run. I dont want to raise the car and need help. What kind of Camber Kit should I get and should I only get it for the front? Where can I get one from and how much should they cost?

Thanks

How do I adjust the toe? Is it hard or should I have a mechanic do it? Thanks

And just keep in mind that most places (at least around here) don't know how to do a alignment on a lowered car, even if it is just 1.4". I asked around and checked my local import shop and they recommended me to a few places and when I asked about alignment I specifically asked if they do alignment on lowered cars. If you call asking for just alignment everyone that has equipment should be albe to do it, its just different with lowered cars because of the toe and camber. Usually camber doesnt affect the tire wear that much unless its dropped 2.0" or more. Also make sure you get your alignment done after getting your new springs on it will cure a lot of problems present and future.
