You can correct camber in the back with the Home Depot gitterdun method of some longer bolts and some washers. The front however will require a camber kit.

Really just comes down to preference on the front. Just remember that not all kits will allow you the same range of movement. Ingalls will allow somewhere around 1degree of +/- movement while others like like Progress I believe will only allow postitive movement. Currently Im looking at the skunk2 fronts since theyll allow up to 6degrees of +/- adjustment which is more than you should ever need. The rears you can buy a custom kit or just make your own out of longer bolts and spacers doesnt really matter.

Is making your own a very safe thing considering its your life when you are driving just woundering and how hard is it to install? front and back

Relax!
All that youre doing is putting a spacer inbetween the upper arm and the frame. Nothing unsafe at all about it.
As for install its pretty damned simple so long as you arent required to press out the stock balljoint and reinstall it in the new arm but even then its only a minor hassle.

I personally like SPC products for any honda application especially the EF DA chassis where replacing the upper arms are not a wise choice. If you have an EG EK DC the skunk upper arm is a nice piece and for the rear I would go with SPC. They also have a replacement arm for the rear that brings the wheel/tire in closer helping with that wheel rub that often occurs.
