BEST FRONT CAMBER RIG FOR STRUT/SPRING COMBO, PREF PILLOWBALL
Please post your success/horror stories with various camber kits and if you know of a pillow ball kit the works with strut/spring combos. I hear the tanabe rig might work, bot i dont know for sure... please fill me in
Everyone is going to ask why i want a pillow ball mount, I want the easiest to fix if it gets out of whack. but i want to know about others as well...
Illumina adjustables/progress springs 96 DC2 GS-R
Also relates to my camber quiz>>> https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=894579

Pillowball mounts don't adjust camber on double-wishbone suspensions. Only moving the upper control arm and/or spindle/hub will change the camber.

then why do all the high end coil overs come with pillow ball? JIC magic makes a pillow ball as well as tanabe, and ther is rumors of cusco, but i havent confirmed that

Because the metal pillowball mounts don't deflect under high loads like the stock mounts w/ rubber bushings can. It also makes ride quality more harsh.
But trust me when I say, the position of the upper shock mount has no effect whatsoever on alignment angles.

now on RSX's and EP3's, which have struts in front, yes the upper mount does determine both camber and caster, and camber/caster plates are available for those cars. But Integras and older Civics have shocks, not struts. Their suspension geometry is determined solely by the control arms and hub/spindle.

I have the progress camber kit. They replace the upper a-arm joints. They're not really adjustable like the skunk2 or ingalls but there is zero chance of slipping that way. I've had it for 2-3 years now, so far no problems.
