Default front camber kits for 96-00, does it have to be the entire arm?

most of the front camber kits i see for my civic replace the entire upper arm with an adjustable unit.

but i've seen some that replace just the ball joint.

are these kits any good? reliability issues? besides the lack of full adjustability why dont more people use them?

Get the one upper arm version as opposed to the 'ingalls' type one.

the ignalls will get the job done. but its a cheap way out i guess you could say. just go with the entire arm and you will be more happy in the long run. now this is only hearsay but i hear the bushings on the cheap ones such as the ignalls go out after a short amount of time after installation. that is NOT my opinion only what ive heard. adjusting just looks easier on the full arm. i will repost more info once i get mine for my 99 SI

oh ok, i think the non-arm units are a one time pre-set adjustment so theres no adjustability after your cambers been fixed

i'm just tired of having -2.0 camber and tires only lasting 30k miles even with perfect allignment
