I know on my crx with hcp mounts and a comptech race header, the ground clearance sucked. i had to raise the car up to like a 3 or 4 finger gap to have decent header clearance.
i never tried the header with the stock crossmember but I'm sure it will have to be notched.
i switched to the smsp header and have a good bit more ground clearance.

NA - any name brand rear ones will work. They're all the same. REVO is the only one that makes a front a-arm that is adjustable. There is a knock off called Rhino, but I've heard they break

Re: (UltimX)
It has to be revo. The only other one is vision. Vision only gives negative camber anyway. However, you can buy adjustable upper ball joints from SPC, but I think if you are too low they hit the inner fender. They are significantly taller than stock.
I'm down around 3" with my omnis, and I only have about -1.7 deg of camber. I think oem specs are +- 1, so it's close. I wouldn't get a kit.

A buddy of mine had the Omni rear LCA's on his EG track car...the bushings ripped
I only have two track days on my Skunk2 LCA's, but they stood up to some hard beating and 100 degree deat

I would trust those over any other aftermarket LCA. I also happen to use them.

I have a track buddy who runs those [function 7] and hasn't had any problems, but since I've had good luck with my Skunk2's so far, I'd recommend either one.
Now what I really want and would have purchased if I knew about them are the mFactory rear LCA's
