Default SERIOUS camber problems on my 5th gen!!

Okay, I dropped my car about 2 weeks ago on some 80 dollar ebay coilovers. and wow. my front tires have such horrible camber problems that since then, there is a bald line going all the way around inner tire. I think the rear is screwed up, too, just not as bad. Is there any way to adjust the severity of the angle of the front wheels w/o investing in a camber kit? i'm only gonna have this car through winter, so I don't really wanna put that much more $ into it. Also, the ride is bouncy as all hell. It feels like i'm on a pogo stick. if I hit a bump in the road, the people in the back seat hit their heads on the celing. no joke. Is this just what I get for using the stock struts w/ aftermarket springs? I've ridden in many other Honda/acuras that were dropped like this, and none of them had either of these problems!! Help!!

Mine rides like stock!!! U should take of those crappy springs and sell them on ebay LOL. There is no point in having ur tires ware down and ur car be uncomfortable. Is it worth the lower look to you? I would scrap the springs and get a better setup or just wait till u get rid of the car.

yes, have a shop "bend" your knuckles more, but that is a permanent fix.
