Question about alignment after brake conversion
I have 01 integra gsr/ls brakes on my 99 civic hatch. Full disk. Now I had an alignment prior within 300 miles of swap. So far haven't driven the car on new brake setup.
I've heard that integra knuckles are taller and mess with my camber when swapped onto a civic over dx knuckles.
My question is how much positive camber do the teg knuckles throw off camber from the dx knuckles? I don't wanna spent $100 for another alignment when I can adjust my uca's myself a lil. Any experience would help. Btw I'm lowered on 15x7.5 +30 with 205/50/15 tires

It's not the camber you should be worried about. If you swapped out the trailing arms too then the toe settings might have changed therefore you should get an alignment done.
My rear trailing arms are still stock. I have Scarebird disk brackets for conversion. (Google if you don't know bout it) my only concern is camber in front from the Knuckle swap. I'm gonna do a string method to check toe in/out.
You'll be fine. You should still get an alignment since you changed the knuckles, which means you would have had to take the tie rod ends off the old knuckles. Then you'll have the sense and knowing that your alignment is good.
He probably isn't fine. Change in knuckle height means change in camber. Change in camber means change in toe, and why the camber is always adjusted before the toe during an alignment.
