anybody has experience with these?? im hoping they are shorter for more negative camber without using the ball joint type camber kit or any other camber kit. if not ill find out this weekend at the jyard and experiment.

please dont ask why i need neg camber. just answer the question. i dont like when peeps answers the question with another question. LOL

 

Seeing how they're overall smaller cars I cannot imagine the spacing is correct between the prongs. If you're honestly concerned with it you're probably best off going custom.

 

^^^ya thats what i was thinking. but, just to make sure ill try it out at the jyard and update this thread for future reference.

 

Please update when you find out. My friend is trying to go really low on his cb7 and is having a hard time with the uca's hitting subframe.

 

^^ya, for sure. but im trying to accomplish negative camber as well i have a 17x8 +10 in the front right now im running 2 camber kits to get neg camber. one of them is the camber kit that attaches to the end of the uca and the other one is a spc ball joint and thats whats making it hit. the spc ball joint is a lot taller than the stock ball joint. so im trying to figure out hopefully the the UCA is shorter to give me more camber and if it bolts up to the mounting holes, im pretty sure the stock ball joint will fit so at least i dont have to run the spc ball joint no more and it wont be tall and hit

 

Cut a hole in your inner fender on the outside of the strut mount....

Problem solved.

 

yeah thats what i was already planning to do till i thought about the civic UCA

 

Seriously? No thats the worst advice I've heard in my life period. Cutting the pretty much "frame" of our car will cause things to be weaker. This isnt some mini truck were you hack off your bump stops and your ok. We have no frame to hold our car's together and the subframe/unibody is all we have I would highy suggest not cutting it unless your car never see's road time. Go slap yourself for suggesting that.

Sorry now back to toppic I've been looking at my cb7 and my friends alot today and I'm thinking what we are gonna do is get some one to build some custom uca's or try and do some teg/civic or somthing else maybe even a legend. Just gotta measure up some other stuff and see.

Sorry for the thread jack but I'm mad at people offering stupid unsafe ricer advice to people all the time.

 

some good news. my boy measured the distance between the mounting bolts of the UCA on his EF, and guess what? they have the same mounting distances. so now to find out if the ball joint of the EF will line up with the wishbone ok. it seems that the EF UCA has the same slant of the UCA as the accord. ill find out this saturday. 50% at pick your part WOOHOO!!

 

BUH AHAHA

Are you serious? I'm not even going to respond at the stupidity. Cutting out a 3x3in hole in something that is not the frame is not going to compromise the chassis rigidity. I think I've been in the game a bit longer than you have and done plenty more with the CD chassis than you.

 

Well concidering you just said our cars have "frames" I would say you failed.

 

I believe you should reread what I wrote. I never stated that we did or did not have them I simply stated you are cutting something that is NOT the frame. But the car does in fact have a "frame" persay. It still has frame rails, sub frames, etc. To say it doesn't have one period is being naive.

*edit*

And to expand, if you kept a kit in there one of two things would happen if you didn't cut an access hole.

1) It beats a hole through it
2) It (ball joint) breaks

If you're that concerned with having a hole there then weld an extended hat on top

 

Sorry to thread jack with this arument. If you wish to continue please pm me. back to topic I've beenlooking at my 90 hatch and my cb7 this morning and it looks like you might have a chance of them fitting. they look almost in the same size. But what I'm wondering is with the cb weighting more then the hatch if its gonna throw off stuff or bend?

 

^ This means "I fail and don't feel like embarrassing myself in public anymore" ?

 

No this means your a dumb *** ricer who wants people to cut up their unibody and die. Cars have them for rigity. When you get in a crash that part used to crush now it will break because ricers like you cut holes in it. The end.

 

Far from ricer

Once again, a 2-3" hole in the inner fender is not going to compromise your chassis rigidity in the way you're suggesting. The idea that you're suggesting doing that will blow up my car and I will die is absolutely ridiculous.

 

Still your an idiot we are talking about cb7's here not cd's and your car is ricer cut up things on it, clear corners, ect. I'm not being an *** I'm saying the next time you wish to offer your ghetto rigging skills to people please dont.

 

I'm not saying your car will blow up. but there is maybe 5" of inner fender unibody there taking out 3 of it will comprimize alot.

 

Well

1) The OP is talking about a CD/CE chassis, which is my model year

2) It's obvious you know nothing about Accords.

*edit* to clear this up:
1) I do not have camber issues and do not have the inner fender cut.
2) The "clear corners" are Stanley OEM as are the headlights, foglights, signals, and side markers
Without going into terribly much detail
- H22A swapped
- chipped P28
- Nardi/NRG steering setup
- Volk TE-37 w/ Goodyear F1 tires
- NSX brakes, wagon rotors, Earl's stainless lines, ATE Super Blue fluid
- Koni Yellow/GC

Just leave the Accord section, trust me.

 

I shortened my stock EF UCA if anyone intrested...pretty easy to do to get camber. I'm sure can be done to your arms too....actually can only do it if the ball joint comes out...like aftermarket(moog or china ones)

 

im interested, details and/or pics.

what car did you do this on, the EF, or did you swap the EF UCA into an accord?

 

The small hole that needs to be cut is pretty common for people that are dumping there accords and are running camber kits. Check out some other forums that are accord specific, it could help you see things in a different light. I don't think that size hole is going to make that big of a difference in a crash.

 

Thanks accordhybrid, I looked for a picture of it but couldn't find one for the life of me.

 

HS Fam4lyfe no matter what.........fam comes first

 

what did you do to shorten it??
