Loosen the LCA bolts and let the car settle, re-tighten the bolts.

OK thanks... thats a simple solution. since I torqued the LCA bolts with the wheels hanging, its basically suspending it there?

Not being in the Honda scene for a decade now. Would picking up rear discs from a wrecking yard still be the way to go? Or is there somewhere else I could try?
