Chassis question. Eg subframe/Ek chassis knuckles
The problem:
I've had a weird suspension issue- at this point, with my camber correction all the backed out, I cannot get less than -3deg camber.
The facts:
98 ek hatch chassis, swapped to EG subframe to accommodate spherical bushings. Unsure of knuckles.
Questions-
Are their compatibility issues with ek, eg subframes and the geometry of certain knuckles?
Would having Integra knuckles on an eg subframe and an ek chassis cause issues?
what is the ideal setup for my situation?
thanks in advance.

Re: Chassis question. Eg subframe/Ek chassis knuckles
Problem solved-
Just in case anyone searches this with the same issue.
The issue sue was simple- I had Integra DA knuckles. They have more curve to the upper arm that attaches to the camber correction mount and therefore my -3-4deg camber.
So getting a knuckle assembly from an ek or EG/DC solved my problem. (Note, if you are running DSS hubs you must be sure to get the knuckles with ABS or 99-00 SI. Otherwise you will have wheel bearing compatibility issues)
cheers.
