Default rear disk conversion problems.

i just finished my rear disk conv,and i am having a few issues. my trailing arms didnt come with the upper arms, so i used the ones off the stock trailing arms. so when you look at the back of the car from about 20 feet it looks like the top of the wheels are facing outwards and the bottom or closest side to the ground faces inward? (is the negative camber?) anyways is this because i am using my upper arms off my 91 civic instead of the upper arm off of a 91 da? second would not using the 4040 make it so i have to pump the brakes to get them stiff? i bled the brakes so i dont beleive there is air but it could be i guess?

I had the same problem..You need to swap em from an DA Integra. I've seen EF's without the 4040 Prop. It Could be bad Mastercylinder. Gravity Bleed it 1st, if that doesn't work benchbleed the Mastercylinder. Do you have a DX or Si?

how long were the lines unattached from the rear calipers? if all the fluid drained out i'm pretty sure you'll need to bench bleen the m/c

there new re manufac. calipers so i think there empty. how do you bench bleed? does the wheel problem sound like the upper arm is wrong? oh and when im driving down the street the back wheels are very loud i believe its the wheels bearings, everything is tight, is there a way i can stick a needle in there to grease the bearings?

I have a 90 STD and I used just the trailing arms. The upper, lower and compensator were from my car. I have no issues. I did use 99 Gsr t/a but that shouldn't matter. I could be the bearings. As for the prop valve, stock as well. I did have to flush the whole system and put new fluid. It was nasty dirty.
