Default Problems: Rear suspension and Brakes

Story:
I was backing out of my driveway to take a test run for the first time in 7months, and near the top of the driveway I noticed I had no brake pressure, I pulled the E-brake, nothing happened. I know this was stupid of me and I know I should have checked at the bottom but that's not the point. I curbed it onto a neighbor's lawn, then completed my 180 in reverse and curbed it onto my lawn and put it into gear and shut the engine (acted as somewhat of a brake). After finally getting together some friends and putting it back in the garage, I noticed a bigtime problem. The rear driverside wheel is tilted inwards at the top (like having extremely bad camber. I'm figuring I screwed this up when I curbed it one of the times. Also, the brakes... When I switched to rear disc brakes the lines had been cut so I just simply went out and bought some new ones from Vans Auto Parts and bent them myself. However it appears that the connections suck big time and I'm leaking all over the place. As for the E-Brake, no matter how much I tighten the cables (at the back of the E-Brake lever) they're still not being effective.

Can somebody help? Por favor? Pretty please? I'm thinking about taking it to a shop, but I don't wanna dump $1500 for a mechanic to do something I could do (unless it's something I can't do).

Thanks in advance for any help

I think you got some fucked up trailing arms.
Where did you get them? Can you return them?
I got a set of rear disc brake lines from a 91 crx. Interested?
Did you have camber issue b4 or after hitting the curb?
