No you don't need them. There are other ways to create negative camber other than installing a part off of a completely different car...

Just get a camber kit.

True, you don't need the ef upper control arms. If you want the hellaflush look, you really just need to adjust the rear camber to match the negative camber of the front. Slamming cb7s seems to add enough camber in the front naturally to get the look you want. The ef upper control arm just adds even more negative camber.

Most camber kits will make the control arm sit higher and hit the fender well more often, while being slammed (this is for the anchor bolt style). No camber kit should leave more room for the upper control arm to move up (I've seen people cut holes in the fender for more clearance). The other style camber kit might be able to accomplish what you are looking to do, but you will need to get a camber kit for the rear to increase the negative camber to match the front.

I don't recommend modifying your car like this, but if its what you want to do, then don't cheap out on parts and buy quality suspension components. Replace all balljoints, suspension components and bushings. All that stuff is about 20 years old and should be replaced if it hasn't been. I'd do it just to be save and to know for a fact that all the suspension is new.

using different control arms from other cars is no big deal, i am currently using oddysey control arms on my coupe

you can buy anchor type kits to camber it in, but unless you get ingalls they all suck

ef control arms are pretty cheap, $30 at a local yard, i would try it to see if it fits your needs, if not im pretty sure someone is looking for a set

you cant loose

with suspension, theres a limit to math, in reality you really wont know until you try it, with math you get close but not perfect

Kouzie used them on his CB, had no problems. He used the adjustable mount ones by I think Skunk2.

Those are the ones I wasn't too sure about. I mentioned that those would probably help to get that hellaflush look. But, the anchor bolt style will cause the upper control arm to sit higher than normal.

I got EF ones on my car ( bought from Kouzie)??
