gsr brake conversion problem
i have a 94 civic cx hatch and i just did a gsr rear brake conversion. i inspected all of the peices before the install and compared to my factory stuff and i did not notice any thing that was bent.
but on my driverside rear i have negative camber which is not such a bad thing, but none the less it was not there before.
and on my rear passenger side i have really bad positive camber (there ain't nothin positive about it)
i know that it needs an alignment because my caster is a little screwy but the camber on the passenger side is way the **** off.
Like i said nothing looks bent. the only thing that i could think of is that possibly the the upper control arm (the one right above the hub) was some how different than my stock one. so i switched it out with my stock upper arm and the result is exactly the same. i also measured both and they are exactly the same dimensions
the only other possibility that i am aware of is that the junkyard that i got the parts from, for some reason may have put a civic upper arm on the integra rear trailing arm, but only on the passenger side. therefore resulting in a difference in upper arms between my driver and passenger side that ultimatley caused my camber to go to ****.
and when i swapped my factory upper arm i was just trading one civic part for another, instead of an integra for a civic.
the only way that this theory is possible, is if there is in fact a difference between the integra upper mount and the civic upper mount.
so the question of the day is ..... IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CIVIC AND INTEGRA REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS???

92-up civic
94-up integras
same rear upper control arms. I measured it when I did my rear disc conversion.
