Default positve camber in the rear after rear disc swap?

i put in integra gsr brakes in my 92 civic and notice that the wheel tilts out at the top (rear wheels). i swapped over the trailing arm and all other arms connected. anyone else experience the same thing?

You should have only swapped the trailling arm. You should have kept all of your other arms (lca, uca, compensator arm).

No... you want the LCA. It has the swaybar mounts. I swapped the whole thing and I didn't have a camber problem.

Alignment wont help since camber isn't adjustable.

Are your springs settled? If you have it parked with the ebrake and jack the car up and drop it down it will do that.

It's equal on both sides? Are the parts bent? Was the source car wrecked? A camber kit will allow you to adjust the camber positive and negative.
