      Thanky! They are short sidewall, will get taller side walls or taller rims soon, those are the tires I got on the rims for a steal of a deal. I'm also going to do a 2" drop to make them eat up some of the wheel well.

        The drop will probably help more than anything, it's looking good so far.

            Thanks, had the CB7 for about a month now. I try to not get too wild with the mods, but I have plans now that it is running the way it should and almost driving the way it should (need suspension and ROH conversion yet with bigger calipers and rotors), so now to make it look the way it should.

            I started to tear down my H22A last week and was sad, I didn't store it correctly nearly 10 years ago and now it has some internal rust damage. I wanted to cry. I have time to rebuild it since the F22A6 is still running like a champion.

              Koni Yellow Shocks H&R Cup Kit Adj. Height/Dampening
              http://www.ebay.com/itm/110939751251

              ENERGY SUSPENSION HYPER-FLEX MASTER BUSHING KIT
              http://www.ebay.com/itm/180735011131

              OEM Motor Mounts (gotta redo them all now)
              http://www.ebay.com/itm/370550462775

              Will add more as I can afford to... Anyone got a good source for aftermarket ball joints, upper and lower?

                Mine definitely needs bushing's aswell as ball joints, good call on the over haul.

                  I'm afraid the cheap eBay camber kit won't work with my car, I see there are ball joint camber kits and I'm on the fence about getting them or standard performance ball joints. Know anyone who has them and is happy?

                  I'm about to order UCAs and lower ball joints but want to make sure I'm not wasting money on incompatible parts.

                  I also tried my best to put a junkyard Denso A/C compressor in my car, ended up ordering a rebuilt Hadsys r134 compressor from a 94 Accord. The Hadsys -> Denso swap is a headache. New bracket and new lines ended up being more than I wanted to deal with right now anyway. So another week of HOT air... But then some suspension and A/C goodness.

                  Also scored a sun roof visor at the junk yard over the weekend.

                  Well off to town to mail stuff and return stuff I didn't need.

                      I've never used camber kit's a good alignment for no more than a 2in drop has always worked for me.

                      But if you have to have them out of necessity i would look into something more reputable such as SPC.

                        I was just looking to even out the tire wear in the future if camber plays a role in it. If they end up sitting in the garage at least I only wasted $17. I'll see what 0 toe and 4 wheel alignment does first. Thanks for the advice, just wanted to tear it down only once. Are aftermarket ball joints any better than OEM? I'm on the fence for that, also do I have to replace the UCA or can the upper ball be pressed out on a 93 accord? I know some UCAs bend or are near impossible to press the ball joint out.

                          I was looking into just replacing the upper BJ's here awhile back they do have to be pressed in, but some recommend you just get the whole arm assembly as it will last longer than just replacing the ball joint.

                            I bit the bullet and ordered the MOOG lower ball joints. Still debating uca vs upper ball. Nearly broke again so...

                                Got all kinds of goodies in the mail lately, still waiting on a few items. Just happy to have cold A/C.

                                A hadsys rc17s can be swapped with hadsys rc17d, you just have to swap the plug and the back compressor plate. the high side port is rotated 180* and that is the main difference other than 5vgroove vs 6vgroove pulley. I can post photos if anyone wants to see. You don't need to swap vgroove pulley. A/C is a wonderful thing!
