Default Camber Kit Dilemma

What's up HCF...my civic dx is lowered with DZ Racing coilovers bout 2 to 2.5 in the front and about the same in the back..I blew on tire already(front passanger) and its only getting worse..I have a camber kit on the way..its alittle on the cheap side but with two kids and rent to pay I have to take what I can get...anyway I checked a few threads on the site and it seems to me that the alignment is more important..so should I run my stock hardware with a alignment done or should I install the camber kit and do the alignment??..

Bad alignment doesn't make tires suddenly blow out. It will wear the tread off. But, I suppose if you keep going until worn completely through...

It wasn't a sudden blow out..I guess I just didn't know wat I was looking at at the time...the wear looked fine...then I got the flat..but to me my tire always looked flat..I guess that's called "toe"...im still relatively new to car mods...after the tire was off I saw the uneven wear..

The main reason i need a alignment is I'm getting a lot of steering wheel vibrations when I'm on the highway...and it pull heavy to the right..
