Default Adjustable Upper Control Arms

anybody have experience with these upper control arms. Seems to be the only company that makes any adjustable UCA for prelude. I just want to know if they're a reputable company offering good products.

The only thing I've heard about them is that they take slight modification to address some clearance issues. They do work though!

I do not recommend these. Here is why

These UCAs provided me with -.5* to +4+* camber, ya Those are correct numbers, in the max negative location I only have .5*Neg camber!
This is after modifying the slots to give me more negative

They require a decent amount of grinding and I STILL have clearance issues, enough to dent my shock towers and chip the paint.

They are heavier than stock UCAs

Tore a bj boot after 3k miles

This is on a 92 lowered on eibach sport springs (around 1.5in drop) 215 40 16 tires

Mine are for sale...

Yeah I'd just stick with the SPC ball joints and maybe put a boot from Honda on it for longevity.

^Pretty sure Slim_BB4 is using those on his car, he has the RHD K24 build, should be easy to find the thread.
