Question For People Who Have A Dc5 Or K20a Swap

I am having a serious prob with my axle on the driver side it keeps braking and snaping the joints. Ever since the camber kit was put in the axle is now too short and is pulling on the joint. The passenger side is no prob because the intermediate shaft gives that extrs length.
I got my axles from http://www.driveshaftshop.com/ .. I need to know what suspension set up you guys are running and what axles are you using and have you hade problems??
Please note I am using the 01 civic hubs and knuckles so mine is four lug. I know people are doing this swap so there has to be someone out there with answers.

I have a camber kit because my ball joints are shot and so are my struts. Do you have a K20a or DC5 Swap? The weight of the dc5 motor was tilting the top of my wheels in. I need to find a good coil over sleeved suspension kit and I had the Hayme kit in mind.

Ask driveshaft shop to make an axle about half an inch longer for you.

I was able to take measurements for the driveshaft shop and Frank is making a custom axle that will be ready tommorow.
Thanks Brian G. Tell Joe and Scott I said hello.

Thanks, Joe M.
