Default Jdm 36mm brake swap ek hatch

Hey guys, I did a jdm itr 5 lug conversion on my ek hatch, 1"mc as well. Everything went well during install, nothing out of the ordinary, except I needed to have my upper control arms adjusted all the way out, and I still have camber. A lot of it! Lol.

Are tou suppost to use itr lca? Or will oe cx lca work? Or does anyone have some info I'm not aware of with doing this install?

Car Is lowered 2 inches, barley tucks tires, on 2154516, itr spec r wheels.
Thanks!

Are we talking front or rear camber issues?

The front camber spec might be off a bit since the spindles are a different geometry. Your front toe will be WAY off. I wouldn't worry as much about the camber. Just get the toe fixed.

The rear trailing arms are all the same between 88-00 civics and 90-01 integras. So...no issue there.

You can't use ITR front LCAs on your chassis, IIRC. You definitely can't use ITR rear LCAs as they are too short.

im talking the front camber on the car first off, and i have a skunk2 camber kit already, with it fully adjusted out...


and i am talking a itr intake manifold.. you figure out how i have it on a gsr head!! this gsr head doesnt have quinch pads combustion chambers tho!!! hahaha

the front toe is definitly out, but im going to put it on my aligntment machine once i get the car back together. its more the camber that im worrying about.. its easily 25-30 degrees of negitive camber, and the rear might have 10-15 degrees.. ill take a photo of it when i get back oiver to my shop..

i just dont wanna eat my tires off the car in the first 5000km of driving, or be doing tire rotations every 2 weeks!!!

there's no way you can have 20 degrees of camber.

There not exact , just using them as figures for how much more the front is out versus the rear.

This is about 10 degrees negative camber. No way in hell you're making -20 degrees of camber.
