darn, i was just gonna put vision. you could always get an upper control arm of a 90-91 crx and use the adjustable ball joint from spc, ingalls, etc.

SPC has camber adjustable Balljoints.... MUCH cheaper than the Vision option.

You'll need 90-91 arms I believe, since they have the replaceable balljoint format.

so then the 90-91 upper arms have removable ball joints ? damn the man. lol. I used 89 si front suspension on my 90 HF. Im gonna put the HF upper arms on it then. i guess ill shell out the $150+ for the adjustable ball joints :/

I think skunk2 makes one already for the crx. With a adustable balljoint. The only difference is that the color is blue and not red. Check Ebay. i saw them on ebay awhile back........................Also....the Know of PROGESS make them also.

i searched 2 months ago and didnt find the skunk 2 ones. they are for the eg and later models, not ef's. the 90-91 ball joint in the upper control arm is held in by a clip, unlike the 88-89 which are welded on. i think there is a how-to in the FAQs section. visions control arms are to add negative camber, not positive camber. so if you are trying to correct the negative camber from a lowered car (mine is about 2.5 degrees) your gonna need positive camber to correct that.
