Default Camber question.. UCA YES I SEARCHED

Ok first let me point out I did search and did not realy find a direct answer.

I need a front camber kit and have tried to look into all options. Please do not recomend Ingals, cause I have used dthose twice, and one time with catasrophic results.

So oI am looking into new adjustable UCA. I have seen these .....

...but cannot find anyone that has used them. Have any of you guys?

So to my question... can a set of arms fron another car be used and still make the clearence needed?

mayybe you could sneak by with a set of da teg control arms.. but i think they are different too...

but as for all the other civics and integras (92-00/01) they are all longer than 88-91 civic control arms and the 96-00 civic arms bolt up in a dif way so yeah..

but i can still say good things about skunk style or omnipower style control arms.. they are great. the ones in your pics look really cheaply constructed.. but any one should do since this isn't a load bearing part... just a guiding one UNLESS YOU ARE SLAMMED.. then it bottoms out and it'll expletive up anything but a stock arm

hope i answered everything for you

Hmmmm yeah they do look cheaply made... that is kinda where I am with things as do drive my cars hard. The integra ones might be my only hope. I saw another company had a set for EFs, but at over $450... seemed pretty damn steep

Anyone else?

I had that "truck-n-store" camber kit on my 91 std hatch. It is HUGE! After installing it, it hit the inner part of my fender wall. So i figured I would just have to trim a little of the inside. After trimming it like an inch, it still didnt clear and rode like ****. The suspension couldnt travel all the way and would bottom out every where.

I wasnt happy with the item in other words.

I think trucknstore is another name for Aim industries.

Many many minitruckers have had problems with this company......I wouldn't risk it. The customer service sux, probably can't get a reliable answer to your questions from them, and they may send you the wrong parts( then want to charge a 20-something % restocking fee for their screw up ).

I would stick with a more reputable company, or see if any other model oem arms will maybe be longer and correct the camber some.

Good luck

The stock DA upper arms fit but you will lose caster angle.

you dont want to mess with caster, so dont switch arms.

eccentric bushings work fine for adjusting camber.

but why do you need to adjust your camber? are they vastly unequal left/right?

These only adjust for negative camber. so if you want positive camber adjustment then this would not work for you.
