Default adjustable upper control arm??

my 94 accord has a bad upper left control arm and being lowered my camber is also way off and im chewing up tires. so my question is are there any companys that make adjustable upper control arm kits for the accord so i might be able to fix 2 problems at once?

SPC adjustable ball joint would help a little but if the camber is way off, you need a Full adjustable UCA.

OMNI powerusa made those but they do not have one for accord, only civic and teg

with -3 degrees camber which is pretty damn off i was able to work it out fine with a set of ingalls pivot mount camber kits, though i did not correct much with the clerarance under the fender lining, for as often as most people adjsut their camber adjustable upper control arms really arent much of a need....
