those who have done it, how much drop to correct all the positive camber???
has anybody fixed it differently??
any pics??? thanks!!

 

definetly not a good idea. DC knuckles drastically change suspension geometry.

 

go for it, you'll be ok

 

sup

 

what about DA spindles???

 

You should use da ones, you just have to adjust the toe.

 

So DC's cause a pos. camber problem, but the DA's are a direct fit? If thats the case, are the DC upper arms shorter than the DA's? I'm asking cuz apparently I recieved some bad information, and have now discovered that the DC knuckles do in fact cause a gain of about 3+ degrees of pos. camber. I'm trying to find the best solution for correction, short of pulling them back off and using the DA setup. .. Any info would help.

 

Get an alignment and see what the printout reads. I think the caster might change, if you are only using it for DD you should be ok. I would like to see an actual alignment printout though.

 

The print out would tell you about what I can already see- massive positive camber, which in turn is also creating a ton of toe out, which of course is much more correctable. Toe and Caster are not issues- I have traction bars, so caster is also adjustable. I thought I saw something about using CRX upper arms? Are they significantly shorter than the civic arms? That may be a possible fix. Also- has anyone else noticed that skunk2 does not have upper camber kits for the EF? I believe the bolt holes are in the same position, so I'm thinking the arm is a different length- It would be nice to know if they're longer or shorter....

 

im in the same position too!! i want to know if theres a way to make work whether is playing with different upper arms or something am sure there has to a way.
i was thinking about buying some skunk2 upper arms and use the ball joints section to modified my stock arms and get the geometry where it needs to be and at the same time correct the camber. also bring the position of the ball joint on the upper arm back to the level where its suppose to be. what do you guys think about that?!?!?

 

I have dc2 knuckles... just used adjustable upper control arms.

If your talking about 94+ intergra's. Mine did not have any postivie camber problems.

 

what springs are you running how much drop???

 

alright, so here's what I've decided to do: I've already installed the DC spindles (which we've established are not as good a fit as the DA's) so I have a severe camber problem. So I've ordered the Skunk2 upper arms for a DC, and will compare the length to the factory upper arm. Taking into account both the difference in length and my camber problem, I will cut the new arms, removed however much my calculated length is, and reweld the new arms. I don't like the red anyway, so I can repaint the arms black. Basically, screw trying to scrounge around and find factory upper arms that "work okay", I'm going to have adjustable arms built just for my application. I'll post what my measurements were in case others would like to take this route. Also: I foresee a handling benefit to using the DC spindles-because the upper arm must ultimately be shorter, the camber curve of the front suspension will be more aggressive- a good thing, since the rear is so aggressive to begin with....

 

somebody correct me if I'm wrong but the skunk2 DC/EG upper arms won't work will they?

Using full d2 coil overs witha 2.25 inch drop, with 16's

 

the dc arm will not fit they are an inch or so wider.

what about the angle of you upper control arm, is it tu much?? does it hits??

 

ok so now my plan is to with progress susp. lowering springs for ef with b series swap, fix the top mounts to recover the shok travel and later play with the upper control arms , if i have to, to get the geometry of the susp where it needs to be..........what do you guys think about that?!?!??!
