Default adjusting F.camber with ball joint slider

any one using the SPC unit? Looks very bulky on the top, I'm very concern that I'll have to make a hole in my shock tower...

Just dont lower your car to far or it will hit you shock tower over large bumps.

I've never had that hapen. I sell/install SPC adjustable ball joints all the time and have never had one bottom out on a tire. I've put them on cars dumped 3.5 inches (00 ccord) w/ no probs.

with those, do I need 90-91 A-arm? or can I use the 89 ones? What's the mounting method of those to my old arms?
TIA

They make one #67125 for the 88-91 Civic the uses your A arm, if you swapped to a DA arm it would be # 67135.
On either one, just remove your old bj, and replace with the adjustable one. You need to be on an alignment machine to get a readout unless you are just going to set it completely out.

I'm just wondering if I can remove my old ball joint out of my '89 A-arm as I did not think they where exchangable.

The 88-89 Civic/CRX Upper-A arms have the ball joints welded into them. Your est bet is to go get some 90-91 Civic/CRX Upper A-arms from the junkyard and take the OEM joint out to replace with the SPC Ball joint.

Hope that helps.
