Default rear-disk conversion + camber

Looking to upgrade my brakes soon from the rear drums on my 98 ex. Just wondered if any one had any problems with camber after converting to disks? I was told this can be hard to fix on some cars. not realy decided on buying a conversion kit or just getting new integra pieces needed to do the swap.
opinions.........

I don't think the camber would be affected, but the toe might. In that case you would need an alignment. For the camber though, if you want to go ahead and adjust it I found a site that tells you how to adjust it for under $10.

If you swap just the hubs over from one trailing arm to another there will be no need for
alignment or camber issues.

True, but that can be a real pain in the ****, those torx bolts can suck.
