positive camber in rear after gsr brake swap on ek
 
I did gsr brakes on my ek and now I have a bad case of positive camber in the rear

the car is dropped, and was suffering from about -1 degrees, but ever since the swap (I did get an alignment) it's chewing tires badly on the outside..

anyone dealt with this shit? any easy solutions or do I have to somehow shorten the top control arm on the rears?

thanks

did you swap the LCA's too?

It does matter. The LCA's for the GSR are not the same as EK civics.

sorry I meant that I did change the LCA's (as in using the tegs)

I meant I wasen't sure if the rear bushing might throw it out of wack at all

I meant you should not have changed the LCA's. I have an EG and have never actually done this swap on an EK but I am pretty sure you need to use the EK LCA's.

You do need to use the EK's lower control arms. Integra/EG Civic LCA's are shorter than an EK's, hence why you have positive camber. Swap your old LCA's back on and you should be back to your -1 degree.

I just realized I made a big mistake

I didnt swap the LCA's, I swapped the trailing arm, not the LCA...for some reason I got them mixed up

the LCA's are from my civic
