Default Front disk Integra swap Issues

I swapped out my EG front disk brakes with a 92-95 Integra front disk brake (with the knuckle), thinking that it will fit right in just like the rear, without any issues. Well I learned the hard way that the toe adjustment is thrown off big time (toe in like a motha), the camber adjustment went significantly negative (the top of the wheel is in, you can tell it from a 45 angle and from the front), and my tires now rub in the inside of the wheel well when I turn all the way to the right/left.

I was able to fix the toe problem, but I know that there is no camber adjustment on Honda's, which brings up my question. How can I correct this? Can I just get an upper suspension arm from an Integra, or do I have to purchase an adjustable upper arm? If you have any experience or knowledge on how to do this, please don't hesitate to respond. Thanks.

Please someone put some input. It would be cheaper to get a used integra upper arm, than an adjustable one. Anybody?

Toe problem = get an alignment

Camber problem = camber kit (ie skunk, ingalls, omni)

Most people swap over the entire thing, so try to go look for the integra upper arm, it shouldn't matter though. hehe just a thought, did U put it on opposite sides?

Thanks for your input, yeah I didn't know any better. I should have bought it with the upper arm, lesson learned for those who are planning to make the swap. I believed the guy that sold me the brakes when he said that it was a complete swap. I was wondering why it was so cheap ($65 shipped for the pair). I'm sure installed it on the correct side, I don't think it will fit the other way.

did you use a 92-93 or 94+ Teg knuckles?

I bolted on 96 Teg LS knuckles and brakes on the front, didn't need aligned.
