Default Installed DA front knuckle on my 93 Si Hatch and now mad camber, how to fix?

I have a s2 pro series camber kit and i have it dialed all the way for maximum postiive camber, but even with that, it still have mad camber (3 degrees from naked eye) is there anything else i can do short of swapping my eg si knuckle back on? i even raised the car and still can't dial out them cambers.

Swap them for DC 94-01 knuckles, or if you have the time, patience, and a press, and an alignment machine you can bend the spindles slightly, reinstall them each time, and recheck the camber settings.

DA spindles = total horseshit for EG Civics man, sorry. BTW that's not a crack on you at all - just stating facts as you've unfortunately found out first hand.

Let me know if that works out, because I'm not sure that the DA calipers/hangers are going to bolt to your Si knuckles. you may find that the hanger bolt spacings are different.

i'll take off the whole assembly minus the caliper (don't want to rebleed) and match the back of the knuckle to see if they are same or not.

Good thinking.

I think that's the reason more people don't just grab the caliper/hanger assemblies off of DAs and other Tegs - they won't bolt to the EG knuckle. It'd be bad-*** if they did.

...then again there are also a few different EG knuckles.

confirmed, DA brakes does not bolt up to cx/vx/dx/si spindle.
I bought jdm eg6 spindles and the calipers and rotors from the DA bolts up to that spindle and no more mad camber problems.
