92 Civic Cx Hatchback
B18b1 B16 tranny
Neuspeed springs stock struts
rack was change out cause the old one was making a clicking noise
ok first problem is when i hit my brakes car stops normal then the pressure leaves the pedal slowly theres no leaks anywhere from any of the brake lines bled the brakes twice still have the same problem
next my car seems to follow the road or any grooves in the road so i have to make sure to keep the wheel tight in my hand i know one of if not both wheel bearings are bad cause i can hear it not sure if this would do that also my car is not dropped very much but i have very bad camber problems in the front my passenger side sturts are blown and my driveside rear lower control are bushing is shot not sure if any of this would cause the problem
last problem is that my car eats through tires like crazy tires on front last me about 3 weeks of normal driving i know i have very bad camber problems but ive read alot about the toe thats the problem its only about the very inner 2 inchs of tire that eats all the way through till the flat or i change them also i did change the rack on this car cause the old one was clicking i didnt mess with the tie rod ends so i figured they were straight not sure if the alignment needs to be set for my car well any help will be greatly appreciated thanks

most people will tell u this(basically a mechanic or anyperson on here with a bit of knowledge). when u lower ur car or put any new springs or shocks or coilovers on u need to get them aligned, if its lowered more than 1.5in i would reccomend a camber kit. when u ur car ur wheels a facing outward a bit that is why they are wearing like a ****.
basically need a camber kit and to get ur toe set to 0 as well as allignment probably.
sorry im not sure about the rest.

brake problem would probably be the master
next two questions will go hand in hand.. first off you need to fix which ever lca that is bad.. then if the wheel bearring is loose then you will have to fix that also...
then what you need to do is go get some camber kits and go to a repair shop and get an alignment...
that should fix all you problems
remember that once you change the geomertry of your suspension than start saving a fund for tires if you dont get an alignment...
camber and toe kills tires!!!!!!

Thanks for the help fellas now if i can just get a for sure answer about my brake problem ill be set i was told to change the prop valve but i didnt think it would help cause its not leaking from it or anywhere else for that matter
It sounds to me like an internal leak.
Take the cap off of the master cylinder and have some one hit the brakes while you watch the fluid. If the fluid rises then fluid is leaking passed the pistons. A geyser of fluid sometimes occurs as well, this is a perfectly normal condition.
How did you change the steering rack without removing the tie rods? It isn't possible.

i meant i didnt adjust them any i left them as they were on the donor car so what im saying is they were aligned to that car and maybe on my car the offset is diffrent meaning i would also need a alignment cause of this is what im guessing

You don't have a popsicle's chance in hell of having the same alignment angles.
Get a damn alignment, it isn't rocket science. You fucked with ****, and now it's broken. Go get it fixed.
