Default LCA problem on EK with JDM ITR 5 lug

I recently installed my JDM ITR 5 lug on my ek with JDM itr 16'rims (205-45-16). My rear tires stick out hella like it gives it crazy negative camber yet the top of the wheels rubs on the rear fender. Ive search about type r lca's on an EK and everyone said its too short. Since i have the itr 5 lug will the type r rear LCA's fit and fix my problem???

yeah, same problem here..... don't forget the ITR pushes out the wheels by 5mm, reason you are rubbing is simply beacuase the car is too low. Either raise the car or have the fenders rolled.

You could use your stock suspsension and your stock LCA's and that could maybe fix the problem... Im not too sure, but when I put the 5 Lug on one of my EG Coupes, the rims didnt stick out and i used my stock civic LCAs....

JDMlyfestyle is right, you couldve gotten a bent trailing arm, but when you have a bent trailing arm sometimes all the bolts wont line up at all, I had to swap trailing arms on my 5 lug setup I had due to the fact that the arms was bent real bad.... You can just take the spindle off the trailling arm and swap it to your stock civic arm... I believe.... Please correct me if I am wrong...

ur suppose to reuse ur ek lcas, as the itr/eg lcas have same dimension and differs from those from an ek.

so if you want a set of ek lcas that has holes for the rear sway bar, either u get a set of 99-00 Si lcas or aftermarket ek lcas.

arent the lca's between the type r and the ek the same length?

i've got the 5 lug on mine and im using the ek rear lca's just cause my set didnt come with ctr lca's. i dont have any problems

the ek lcas are longer then the eg/dc lcas...i know because when installing the 5-lug onto my ek...the wheels kinda tucked in, so i had to basically re-use my stock lca's...
