Default Camber problems after GSR disk brakes UPGRADE? HELP!!!

Camber problems after GSR disk brakes UPGRADE? HELP!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 93 EG HATCH and after doing my GSR disk brakes (UPGRADE)
camber problems arised....here are the readings....
*front camber* (right) -4.5
(left) -4.6

(total toe 4.97) has this ever happened to anyone?

the service guy at *TK performance/tire kingdom* said that the main problem
is on the SPINDLE *but how?
I dont get it 92-95/94-2001 integra gsr is the same *****
I used the GSR spindle/full knuckle...(civic) upper control arms
installation was smooth its just the camber problem...before the installation the car had NO camber problems...the guy also said the best camber kit could only correct up to 3.5 or something which leaves me still with some negative camber and said it was not WORTH IT...HELP GUYS...

my final option is to go back to STOCK *DX BRAKES* and get my money back

Is your car seriously dumped low? I have GSR brakes all around and a very mild drop. I also used the civic upper arms, so it looks like we did the exact same thing. I run about -1ish camber on the street because of my drop, no camber kit. Never had to adjust anything other than toe to prevent tire wear.

No, its not dumped low it has a mild drop....before the GSR upgrade I used to have the same -1 camber as u do...never had a problem...but the upgrade fawked the whole suspension...

About getting the camber kit... the guy at TK performance adviced that it wasnt WORTH doing due to the drastic camber...i will be going back to DX brakes over the weekend and see what happens...ill keep you guys posted...i cant think of anything else but WRONG BRAKES
