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 ****? any easy solutions or do I have to somehow shorten the top control arm on the rears?
thanks

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
