How do u adjust Integra's cambers?
Yeah i got a DA that is slam to the floor and i can't put big rims on the front. I tried adjusting it but it's still mess up. I got them rhino cambers off ebay,so it looks kind of like the stock ones. Anyone got any tips or advice?

Haha
But seriously, you can find aftermarket upper control arms that allow for adjustment of camber and caster. Just search some companies- maybe JC Whitney has them. Don't know who else to call other than my parts supplier for my work

The correct way to adjust camber on an Integra, unfortunately, is to not adjust it. Seriously. Our cars lack front suspension travel. A replacement UCA will be taller than stock, due to the sliding balljoint. This means, the UCA will limit travel even further (it will hit the inner metal fender before the shock bottoms), meaning you have to run a higher ride height for the same springs, or raise the car, to avoid bottoming after you replace the UCAs.
And trust me, slamming the UCA into the fender sucks. I do it occasionally on potholes and abrupt freeway overpass transitions. Its harsh, loud, and eventually my UCAs will make more clearance for themselves by just cutting through or denting the impact point. I also am running SPC UCAs, which are some of the thinnest aftermarket camber adjusting UCAs I've seen (thinner than the skunk2 units), so they'll leave the most travel afterwards. I also had to raise the car 1" after adding the UCAs, to bottom out about as rarely as before, because of the decreased suspension travel available. I'm also using them for more camber, and daily drive with -4.0* in the front, and I don't suffer from the supposed "camber wear" people are always afraid of.
Lower the car. Accept that you'll have more negative camber. Get the toe corrected with an alignment (lowering screws the toe setting, and toe eats tires). Enjoy the increased cornering the camber provides. That is why we lower the car to begin with, right?
