upper spring perch installed wrong?
Is it possible to install the upper spring perch incorrectly? Would this cause a great deal of negative caster?
I recently did a coilover install and a LS brake/GSR swaybar swap on my 93 Civic HB. I didn't notice the huge amount of negative caster on the front driver's side wheel until the car was lowered. The other three corners look fine.

are you refering to camber?
If the ride height is equal all of the way around you my have a worn bushing, bent controll arm, worn ball joint, or something is really fubar and not installed correctly.
Probably a good way to diagnose the problem would be to take your car and get it aligned at a shop that has a lifetime gaurentee, or atleast a gaurentee that good for a few months and they may be able to pinpoint whats wrong.
After they tell you either have them fix it or you could do it yourself and have them do the alignment again.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think I would get one.
No, definately caster, not camber.
No alignment shop will touch a car with coilovers. I can't take it to a shop cuz they are all completely shady, especially alignment shops. They charge you all this extra money cuz you're "custom", fix the wrong thing, and do poor work.
It's gotta be a bushing like you said.
