The best would be the complete upper control arm, only one company makes them for our cars.(forgot the name do a search) Other than that use the ball joint type, it's better than the bushing type. The bushing type squeaks after a while.

PURCHASED NOVEMBER 1991. THAT'S RIGHT, I'M THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER. BEAT THAT!

I can't decide between the Chassistech UCA's or the SPC adjustable balljoints. I need new upper balljoints anyway, so the "pivot" type camber kit would'nt be worth it. I heard the SPC balljoints hit the fender because they are taller... but thats probably on a low ass drop. Have you guys seen the Skunk2 UCA's for a civic? They don't make them for our cars but they basiclly the same concept as the chassistech ones..they have the plate that slides to adjust...I heard these plates slip(on the skunk2 ones)and throw shit off...but that could be from auto-x or did'nt have them tight enough..idunno. Anyone have this problem with chassistech? Anyway both kits are abot the same price:$149 for chassistech on Chassistech.comand $140 for SPC balljoints on nopi.com.Last edited by Kdub; 10-24-2004, 07:07 PM.

Kdub, ingalls has adjustable balljoints too (35595 and 35594) so that's a 3rd choice. SPC has limited lifetime warranty but ingalls only has 1 year, I think. I'm looking for a solution for my -1.5 camber so I'm very interested which one you are going to buy.
Not sure which BJ is shorter, this is important since the BJ height will shorten your suspension travel and will more likely make the UCA hit the inner fender.

I got the SPC BJ's. I installed them last night and today I took my new tires up to a shop(Midas)and had them mount the tires and alighn it. They had no prob adjustig camber in the front, I wish I could say the same for the rest of the suspension, but thats another story. I have to take it back tomorrow so they can finish(the back right is still -1 deg, had them use washer shims in the back.).........Well the drive home there is deffinitly something hitting on both sides in the front, but only on serious bumps and dips. Keep in mind I'm on Sportlines with stock shocks. I wonder what new shocks would do? I have not had time to investigate this at all, I just got home. I'll keep ya posted. Any ? ask.

I have never used the SPC adjustable ball joint but I DO NOT recommend the SPC bushing types, they suck! I would highly recommend the Ingalls kit (high degree correction part the 0.5 - 1.5 kit is the same as the SPC one) or the Chassis Tech UCA's. See my ohter post about the Chassis Tech UCA's...
