What the hell are upper chambers? Do you mean control arms? Get OEM parts.

camber kits are a waste of money unless you're looking to add camber. Camber kits apply to a very small portion of people driving 92-00 civics.

Forget the Beaks bar. It's not a sway bar, it's a "tie bar" but doesn't do crap.

How low are you looking to go? Progress is a great choice.

For the camber kit's unless you want be to be slammed I would really would bother with them. Even in that case I still woudn't. I would take that money and do other things to the car. Bushings, or even a ASR Brace.

Shocks are junk, period.

Throw some Koni's sports in it. I am willing to bet, it handles better, and rides better.

Blues, are a OEM replacement shock. Just like OEM shocks they are not meant to be lowered on.

What's about shot? Your UCAs or your aftermarket camber kit?

You don't need an aftermarket camber kit unless you're dumped or you want to be "hella flush" and make your wheels stick out and drive on the sidewall of your tire.

If your aftermarket camber kit is about shot, you should probably just get oem UCAs

From the sound of it you don't even have a camber kit on your car. You called upper control arms chambers so that leads me to believe your suspension is just shot and you don't have a clue what you're talking about-seeing as how you cannot even properly identify standard car parts.

OEM Honda parts are cheap? You think that? Then I know for a fact you have no clue of what you're talking about.

How much do you need to do the motor? Whats more important? Motor or suspension?

There is noithing wrong with buying things, and sitting on it until you have everything ready to go.

nothing really needs done to the motor just little things so its not that big of a deal and the suspension at this point is the most important due to the fact that its so fried that i cant even drive the car till it gets fixed and im trying to do that i just got CP-S cv joints koyo wheel bearings and OME tie rods probly going with oem UCA's this week to from the post then just slaping all that on at once till i get the rest of the parts....
