Default Installed GSR front brakes, and alignment is way off on passenger side now. Need Help!!

I have a '95 del sol S which comes with the 9.2" brakes in the front. I got a set of Integra 10.2" brakes (Knuckles,hub, rotors,calipers etc) from a 2000 GSR. After the install my camber is horribly off on the passenger side. My car is lowered but i have a camber kit on it. With the camber kit adjusted all the way out, I am still -2degrees, but only on the passenger side. Driver side is good. I took it to get an alignment and see if they could fix it, but they couldnt, stating that the camber was adjusted all the way and that something had to be messed up. Could it be possible that the knuckle or something else from the GSR setup was bent. Anyone else have this problem? Could I just have forgot to do something?


edit- If the Knuckle turns out to be bent, can I use my stock knuckle from my del sol S (9.2" brakes) to replace the bent GSR one?...

I didnt touch the fork. The only things I removed were the upper and lower ball joints, the tie rod ball joint and the axel nut. I then slided the whole assembly out.

You pulled apart your knuckle ofcourse the alignment will be off, just do one or get one done, you'll be good.

I went to get it aligned and they couldnt align it because something is messed up. My camber kit is all the adjusted to the max and it still wouldnt remove the negative camber I had.

Take it all the way apart and put it back together again. Jesus Christ, what do you want from us, a magic ******* potion? You obviously did something wrong, probably something small, but something wrong nonetheless. Do it again.
