Default after balljoint installs

dude, i installed these http://www.directtuning.com/store/pc...175-to-32.aspx and after the control arms hit the wheel well... its like the control arms go inside the cavity normal, but after i installed these it was outside the control arm cavity??? so i bought some adjustable balljoints and when i do the alignment for 0 camber, the balljoint sticks out too far..... and now what???? has anybody run into this before? is stock camber on a 89 civic hatchback not 0?

Don't run 0 degrees of camber... try running like .5 degree or 1 degree. Hell, I don't even think your car uses 0 degrees of camber at stock height.

not sure but you could always go to a local alignment shop and ask them what its supposed to be set to from stock
i didnt buy that type of kit when i did mine i just bought the adjustable UCA.
