EF/CRX Front Camber, what are the good options?
For starters, Im focused on autocrossing but the car is a daily driver, so I cant just dump it to an absurdly low height to get the extra negative camber I want.
I'd be happy with -2 to -2.5 degrees.
I've looked into the different kits, and here's what I've found:
#1.)
-full replacement arms with adjustable sliding mount (like skunk 2 or omnipower) = havent seen any that are specifically for the EF/CRX, have you? Will other kits for EGs or other models work?

#2.)
-adjustable ball joints from SPC = great idea, except how are you supposed to get the OEM ball joints out? Tell me its do-able, and I'll buy em!

And Finally, the easiest and cheapest option:
#3.)
-adjustable mount bolts = seems good enough, but there are two types and two sizes of each, but noone can be specific enough about which does what.



Of the #3 types, there is a rotating assembly (SPC) vs. a sliding assembly (OBX), and I like the sliding ones better since they seem easier to adjust (is that true?). These kits are mostly designed to correct camber by providing more positive, while what I need is something like a range of -1 to +1 adjustment. Most kits have two ranges, but I'm having problems finding specs that are specific enough to tell them apart on the sliding type adjusters.
Any ideas or experience with any of these kits would be greatly appreciated.

This is by-far the best camber kit in my opinion. But the selection isnt there for use EF/CRX guys, however there is a write up on here about how to make the adjustable a-arm from a eg fit our car. But there is welding involved.

I have heard they just press right out.

I have the ingalls kit, it is pretty nice not to hard to adjust, just kind of tight, I have yet to get it on the alighnment machine
