Default Integra front brakes on a CRX

Anyone running them? If so what are you using to correct the camber? I am using the front brakes off of a 96 Integra and I have to much positive camber.

I used 90-93 Integra DA knuckles instead of the DC (94-01 Teg) knuckles.

I also have the DA knuckles, and have no problem.
You're not using the LCA's of the Integra are you? If so, then that's your problem. You're only supposed to use the knuckles and retain your stock LCA's.

Nope I did not change the LCA's all that was used was the knuckles. I realize that the knucles are giving me my postive camber problem. What I would like to try and find out is who are the companies making negative camber kits that will alow me to pull the wheels back in. I have seen the Vision negative A-arm kit for the CRX but they are quite pricey. I have heard there are others making them as well but have been unable to come up with any company names. Thaks for the replies guys. Actually! What are the guys using when they do the ITR conversion on the CRX's are they not runing into the same problem?

they use a hybrid knuckle/hub consisting of either EX knuckles or DA knuckles with ITR hubs...

a negative camber kit will not fix your problem, it will only add camber...

you need to get rid of those knuckles for the correct ones...

I am approx 1deg positive now with these knuckles on the car. These Vision arms are supposed to give a fellow 3 deg of negative camber adjustment. I was thinking that 2 deg would put me at zero so to speak and I could go as much as 1 deg negative with these arms. Now to be honest I really don't know because I have never seen anyone use them but they seem like they will do the job. If not then I guess I will have to make the ole switch around to the 90-93 stuff Thanks again

Hey it all depends..i have 96 gsr knuckles on my rex because i crashed my car so i had positive camber then i put the gsr knuckles and it was less positive...i didnt have to get a kit to correct it i just went to my local framing and wheel alignment guy and he fixed it...it wasnt so much the camber its the toe..look either way your going to have to get it all aligned so take it in and ask them to check it for you some shops will tell you how much its out for free or 10 bucks...

well because the guy has positive camber so if he lowers the car it might zero the camber out is what he's saying...after i crashes min i replaced the LCA and it was close to zero but still postitive so i dropped it another inch because i wore both the crappy tires out already oin the edge then BAM nigge be straight....thats all he's sayin
