Default Bought a CRX with EK front hubs...positive camber issue

The previous owner installed EK hubs and now the camber is positive up front. I'd say it is about +1 deg. Can I correct this with a camber kit or do I have to go back to DA/EF hubs?
Thanks in advance.

i believe you can correct it with a camber kit. maybe if you lower it more the camber can be at zero.

Yeah, that is what I was leaning towards. I might be lowering the car anyways and that way I can use the money that was going towards the camber kit for the alignment ant the EF/DA hubs.

The car is already lowered 1.5" But, I might be lowering it more. The problem is that I am running 205/50/15's and they would definitely be rubbing at 0 camber.

I still think it'll be cheaper and perhaps even a more effective solution to go back to EF hubs. Since you wanted a bit of negative camber anyway...
