Default Adjustable UCA

I have an 88 CRX and I am looking for a front upper control arms to dial in more camber. Just looking for recommendations. Thanks.

i used the wicked tunning rear uca camber kit and having great sucess with it. for the price im planning on going with their front uca kit also.

they don't campare to the skunk2 race model design wich completely elimnates the problem of bending the track that the ball joint moves on.

some simple fabrication can eliminate this problem on the cheaper models like the wicked tunning (also blox and omni)

the wicked tunning front uca are under $90

(this isn't refering to their spherical bearing units)

If you have the cash go with the skunk2 race models or the spc full uca.

I am between these two. Is there an SPC model that has everything included? I see no "full" UCA for a CRX on their site at least. I only see the anchor bolts and the ball joint.

The Skunk2 Pro (not Pro+ because it's not available for EF's) seems like an easier choice at the moment...but the bushings suck

I want spherical, but will settle for poly bushings at the top, and a very nice ball joint at the end of the arm, anyone have that?


EDIT: I found these, but not for EF's: http://www.spcperformance.com/...&cmd3=
That is a good start, but I assume it's trashy bushings anyway...

spherical are nice but would bump me out of sts so for me at least its not a choice, not sure if it matters to the op tough.

i guess spc only makes their full uca for integras and later model civics.

I use the Ingalls adjustable mounts because they allow you to keep the stock UCA and you don't have to worry about the ball joint coming loose if it hits the inner fender or anything. Plus, the race spec ones give you a hard race surface at the mount bushings, so IMO it's a win-win.

the skunk2 adjustable UCA combined with the orijin bushings seems like it would be a good compromise.

Ingalls makes 2 kits. 0 - 1.5" drop and 1.5 - 3.0" drop. Do those two provide a couple degrees of adjustment in the negative range with the drop they correspond to? I am lowered a couple inches.
