camber kit help

So i bought my 05 coupe used and it had already been lowered on tein s-tech springs but the previous owner didnt install any camber kits. I went to firestone for an alignment and they said that the front camber is over two degrees off.
I realize camber kits are how to solve this issue but after researching on this website it seems like most say a rear camber kit is needed for the tein s-tech springs. Firestone says i need a front camber kit to fix the issue. So my question is what do i really need to purchase to get this cars alignment correct and so i can drive my car without eating through tires every year?

Firestone alignment check:
Front Camber Left -2.0 Right -2.1
Toe Front Left -.03 Right -.05
Rear Camber Left -2.2 Right -1.8
Toe Rear Left 0.14 Right 0.23

If you want your alignment correct and in spec, and have longer lasting tires, than your gonna need to get both the front and rear camber kits.

I see. and there are lots of brands and i hear spl and spc are the best but they are also the most expensive. How are megan and ichiba which seem to be more reasonably priced? is there really a big difference?
