Default DA rear LCA on EF civic.

I did the rear disc swap a few months ago and encountering the negative camber everyone has been talking about. My question is if I am using DA rear LCA and getting negative camber...couldnt I switch out the EF rear UCA with a DA rear UCA to correct it a little? I just installed ES master bushing set and would hate to have to buy new sets for EF lcas.

I don't think the lca's and uca's are different however the toe arms are. Why dont you just buy a camber kit they are about $100 for blox on ebay

The only arm that you should have used from the integra was the trailing arm. Without EF lower control arms, you will never get the right alignment.

DA LCA's will not work properly. I have personally tried it and it gives crazy amounts of negative camber.

hahahahaha! I love it. Cheap and effective... Rockin the washers on my daily EG sedan. If you don't want baller status, washer work great.

I also swapped DA rear discs on my CRX, I had to us EF toe adjustment arms as the DA's are longer. Also I swapped in some F&F LCA's but the LCA's from EF to DA should work. I know lots of peeps that put the DA arms on so they can run a DA sway bar on their EF's. Google it
