Tubular Control Arms?
I am in the process of replacing my springs and struts and while I'm in there I would like to replace the upper control arms. Does anyone know of a company that makes a guality set of control arms? Given the option I would rather replace them with something better than stock. Thanks.
After browsing through the great sea of mis-information on the internet I am under the impression that adjustable control arms will allow me to adjust my camber because the car is now 2" lower. Is there any merit to that thought? The majority of suspension I have dealt with is on rear wheel drive cars so I imagine there are probably some differences. Any insight would be really appreciated.
For 2" lower you should not need adjustable arms, just get an alignment and get the toe fixed. The neg camber will help with the handling.
CRXJimmy speaks the truth, fix the toe, and the tires will be fine. In fact, honda road racers and auto crossers often try to get as more negative camber up front to help with traction in hard cornering.

Thank you for the information... I'm going to pick up some nice factory replacement arms from MOOG and take it from there. While I am in there I am going to replace the outer tie rod ends as well. Any suggestions on anything else that needs attention after 16 years? Everything looks pretty good in there.... but I intend of having the car for awhile... so I wan't to take care of things now. Thanks again.

not easy, but really recommended and its cheap.
do a complete shakedown of your suspension and search for play in other places.
