I've been chasing the front-end on my own project Civic for a year now. See: http://www.theoldone.com/artic...c.htm

My car is not lowered by most of your standards due to the lack of header (ground) clearance.
I installer SPC's adjustable ball joints when I rebuilt the suspension during this build-up, and the least amount of camber i could achieve was 4 degrees, so they aren't too swift if you're looking to minimize front tire wear. The SPC ball joints also take up so much space above the control arm that they slam into the wheel well continously.
Having seen the pictures of the Cusco arms, I ordred a pair. Once they arrived, I discoved that they aren't what they appear to be in pictures on their web site. They are in fact, NOT adjustable at all. They are of welded construction with a fixed ball joint position that will increase your camber for road racing applications.
I plan to buy a pair of the arms discussed at the top of this thread....and if I don't like them, I'm just going to break-down and spend the time to build my own.
At any rate, I do not suggest purchasing either the SPC's or the Cusco's.

the cusco and vision arms add negative camber. look into the revo UCA's for ef's. they just released an adjustable arm recently. there is another post on this page that shows them. i have a pair of spc adjustable ball joints that i bought but it looks like i wont put them on and go with the revo arms myself.

Best thing to do with the SPC's is to sell them (new). Despite their heavy-duty look, installing them is a just waste of upper control arms...and time.
