Loosen the LCA bolts and let the car settle, re-tighten the bolts.

OK thanks... thats a simple solution. since I torqued the LCA bolts with the wheels hanging, its basically suspending it there?

Yes, the bushings will also tear pretty quick being loaded that way.

Not being in the Honda scene for a decade now. Would picking up rear discs from a wrecking yard still be the way to go? Or is there somewhere else I could try?
