Default DC GSR front spindles on EF hatch HELP

So i had a totaled gsr i took the brakes all the way around and put them on my ef. Now the front wheels have positive camber. I was going to order a camber kit but i heard it will still hit once i lower it. Anyone have DC GSR front spindles.hubs on a ef.

DC knuckles are not a good choice for the 88~91.
They are about 1.5" taller than your stock knuckles.
You get massive positive camber and if you are lowered enough to pull the camber back within spec, then your upper control arm starts pounding into the shock tower.

again!! haha

hell even DA knuckles are better than the DC.
i got lucky and scored out on my sedan hubs.

OP-if you can seriously try and find some 88-91 civic sedan hubs.
it will save you in the long run.

dont just go buy a camber kit and slap it on in hopes of correcting this because it will still cause you problems

Looks good!
Probably want to take it in for an alignment anyway and make sure you are low enough so you have the camber within spec.
