For the rubbing he right take out the fender wall. For the camber you will never need to put a camber kit on the front of the 7th gen Civic the way the front suspension is made it will never camber. The back you should be okay at 2 inches. As far as the stock shocks go you will be fine like that but the stock struts and shocks suck so it would probably be a good investment to buy some shocks too.

The camber kit will alleviate the rubbing a little bit as well since it pushes the wheels away from the fender wall. You answered your own question. Get a camber kit!

On a 2in drop, you are going to need camber kits and performance shocks. The stock shocks will be gone in a matter of weeks. They will not last any extended period of time. Also, if you don't get the camber kits your tires are going to wear very quickly on the edges and you will be replacing theme every six months. The car will not be able to be aligned unless you get the kits. Trust me, I know from experience.
