slight weight savings is the most your going to get out of it.....

you can just redo the bushings in them with OEM stuff or go polyurathane if its not stiff enough for you.

actually some of them may have provisions for a rear sway bar like the Si's do, thats also something to consider if you have either a dx or an hf.

thats why im going to upgrade to the si's when i finally pick them up.

If you are half an inch off the tire without a camber kit, then your camber is not stock spec...your camber is waaaay out of spec. You can install a rear camber kit. And SPC LCA's actually work in conjunction with their kits.

Correct, if your fender is only sitting 1/2" above the tire, then your camber is not in any spec. As your car goes lower, your camber automatically goes negative. There's no OE adjustment for camber, so the car is not in spec. OE spec is +/- 1 degree if I remember correctly...you would be way out of that tolerance.

remove the 2 bolts holding in the upper arm, insert washers on the bolts, put bolts back in.

If he removes camber from a car that is already rubbing, it will only rub worse. Something else is going on here.

EDIT: This is assuming he is rubbing on the lip of the fender.

It also depends on what size rims,offset and such.Might have to roll the fenderwells for good enough clearance.

Then you DON'T want to add washers to remove camber. What wheels and tires do you have?
