Specialty Products EZ arm XR vs Progress Camber kit --> Whats the difference with the two?
With these two camber kits are there any differences?
Does both camber kits replace the whole front control arm?
what are the advantage is one of them does replace the whole control arm?
I need a camber kit that doesnt slip, of the two which one would be best for a 97 Civic and my car is at 2.75 inches
So what are your suggestions or comments

Hey bud, I don't think any of us are intentionally ignoring you. I think I can speak for myself and at least a few others in saying we haven't had experience with these products, and don't want to give you any misinformation.

I have no experience with SP... I have owned two Progress "kits" before. Here's my impressions...
For the 97 civic, the front is a ball-joint kit. I'm guessing it's similar to the prelude kit I describe below. It's not a replacement arm.
For the Integra. The rear "kit" consists of two bolts and 8 washers... The front is a replacement pivot joint
It only has two settings, there is no in-between. Unlike the ingalls kit which has a sliding adjustment (and can slip), the progress kit is a solid block. You decide which setting you want, screw the stud into that side and mount it up. If you want to switch to the other setting, but remove the stud, put it in the other hole, flip both pivot joints around and mount everything back up. The weak point of this system is the stud. You MUST get some stronger loctite than is provided in the kit, otherwise the studs will back themselves out. While it corrected my camber... (back closer to zero), I wasn't really happy with this kit.
I bought a front kit from them for my prelude. It was a replacement ball-joint. It was a very high quality piece. Again though, the adjustability was limited. Some kits have a slider on the joint for adjustment. The Progress kit moved in a circular pattern, so you could only change the camber setting by also changing the caster... I sold it before installation so I can't comment on durablity.
I've owned ingalls stuff and was very unhappy.
